Default OT - 'Super Hot' boiler question

You can see (and hear) the piezo fire then the boiler lites and runs for
maybe 10 - 15 seconds. It shuts off, then retrys to lite. Basically it
will not stay running for as long as it needs to, and it seems like
something is shutting it off.


Is the flame pulsating? We had this problem with the boiler at
work, and the problem was a faulty gas pressure regulator.

If the flame seems to be burning normally, then it is probably
a sensor. The optical flame sensor may be covered with soot,
or the stack temperature sensor may be faulty.
