I'm going back tomorrow. Will disconnect flame sensor see if it locks out on that. I'm fairly new to commercial and that's the first boiler I've come across that doesn't lockout on loss of gas

Be careful if you go down that road. I can't remember the type on that boiler but if it is an HT lead combination, it will start trying to re-ignite not long after you pull it off and you may end up upside down, white as a ghost and shaking on the other side of the plant room.
Having thought about this, I have a sneaky suspicion that the Gas pressure switch on these only prevents high fire? Not sure!!
If it does you may need to think of something else. I would be tempted to disconnect the gas valve and let it go through its ignition sequence. It will probably have four or five attempts and then lock out. You could do what you suggested and disconnect the FFD lead but I would do that first and then let it try to light rather than pull it off whilst running. You may not of meant pull it off whilst running, it could just be the way I read it?
Just thought I would say something in case!!
Let us know how you go on.
Disconneced flame sensor, tried to start boiler. 3 failed attempts and it went into lockout requiring manual reset code 133.
I bet!
Good job you used common sense and doubted the advice from MF's eh?
Tell me about it. The fact it was both boilers, that's why I turned to you guys. Guess it all depends on whether the guy who answers the phone actually knows a bit or if he's just reading from a script.
Yes indeed. You could get a bread van driver re-trained or a very experienced Engineer. It's a bit of a lucky dip.
