Default Oil boiler r8uns but only occasionally fires

Boiler:
Camray 5 circa 2001, oil, non condensing

Symptoms:
It seems to be on, and yet it hasn't fired. Sometimes after tens of
minutes it does, and then works fine.

The flameout/lockout *doesn't* come on. (although it did twice in the
high winds)

There is oil in the tank

It sounds as though the oil pump and air blower are doing their stuff.
Not sure about circulation pump, but water is cold.

Any ideas?
