Boiler pilot light gasp ressure low
Hi all,
Having problems with my ancient ideal boiler. The pilot light kept going out and on inspection the thermocouple was all burnt away. Ive fitted a new TC but now the gas pressure for the pilot light seems a bit low and the flame is going straight up and not at the burner or at the thermocouple. thepressure was fine before the new TC?? Allways a bit wary of gas but is there anything I can try before I go on thel ong haul of trying to find someone to look at it. ta Kev |
