Hi All,
Bit of background..Heating running fine, slightly noisy.Drained down to replace 1 rad and move 2.
everything back together system filled and bled.Boiler pilot wont light.
I could hear gas so knew that was ok, I left it off for a while and retried still no joy, as the boiler position makes it difficult to see if there's a spark I whipped the covers off (Croppie don't beat me up, i'm a maint engineer i know what to leave alone!) there is a spark but very weak, so i'm guessing its not enough to fire the pilot.now this is an old boiler the fault finding suggests a couple of things (electrode, pilot burner,pilot injector) I'm pretty sure none of you would be carrying these bits around with you, they are available on the web so my question is.....should i order these bits so that the Engineer i call out has them to hand if needed, or not they aren't massively expensive but i don't want to throw money away.
All advice welcome.
