Default (ping Geoff) Suprima not firing up (not lockout)

Is it red?

Even if the HT lead is red, the boiler should still fire up and stay
alight for the duration of the 13 sparks before the pcb ditches out. It
should then try twice more to go through its sequence.

When you say "trying to fire up", what do you mean exactly


I mean Suprima Victim[1] says it's making a ticking noise when it should
be lighting but not getting to the running state. I haven't been around
and poked around inside it[2] so I don't know if it's actually trying to
light up (HT shorting to somewhere?), succeeding but not detecting flame,
or what. And although I replaced the PCB (c/o you, 4 years ago) I don't
recall (or have a photo showing) what colour EHT lead is.



[1] very MILF but not particularly techie

[2] for either value of 'it' ;-)
