What other controls do you have?
No other controls as far as I know, it usually fires up when timer comes on.
Check for live feed at boiler. If none, follow the circuit back. If no valves or thermostats in line, turn off the power, remove the timeswitch and put a link from live to the switched terminal. If it fires when power is restored, then timer is the problem.
Errhhh have you made sure the boiler overheat thermostat has not tripped before you go pulling your new clock apart??? just a thought! 
I did suggest checking for live feed at boiler before lifting clock off base plate. Hardly pulling it apart.Errhhh have you made sure the boiler overheat thermostat has not tripped before you go pulling your new clock apart??? just a thought!
Fair comment oilhead..no offence intended!! however it is best when fault finding to start at the end of the elctrical circuit and work back i.e. burner lock-out overheat stat trip, swl to boiler, feed to circ pump M/V's opening

Does anyone know what the approximate Thermostat setting should be on the Thermecon 40/60 boiler
Set the boiler stat to 70-75'c that will be fine!
