Pilot
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 1:48 pm
I have a Myson Apollo 30B boiler. I live in an appartment block and I am told am using a communal flue...
When I moved in it had a few problems so got someone in to first change the water pump, then the thermocouple.
Since then (the new pump is on the way of the bottom of the boiler cover so cannot put it back) the pilot light will stay on for sometime then now and again and I don't know if this is my imagination but mainly when outside is windy, the light goes off.
When I relight it up it is sometimes difficult as there is a lot of draft so light doesn't stay, so I take off cover and light it with more ease.
When I put the cover back on, I can see the flame is trembling and noisy from the draft...
What can I do?
