I have bought a 1300 watt generator to power my central heating during
power cuts. However the boiler will not ignite. I am thinking this is
due to the spark generator requiring a large instantaneous current. The
thing is the boilers internal fuse is 2amp and the connection to the
mains has a 3 amp fuse. The generator is rated 3.7 amp. Have I bought
in insufficiently powerful generator? Is there anything I can do?

My system works happily off a 300 watt invertor and car battery. I'd doubt
any domestic system needs 1.3 kW.
