the boiler does not start

[robert-o1978]

I have a 50/90 boiler grant and I have a problem. When you try to run there is only a little smoke and nothing. The oil is in the tank. It happened suddenly. I attach a video. I am asking for suggestions. Thank you.

When was this boiler last serviced and flue inspected? From what I can see is the boiler and or flue are blocked causing a back pressure, which is why you see that puff of smoke back through air intake.
Furthermore the bearings will need replacing sooner rather than later and if its a conventional flue which I assume it is then the snorkel adapter should be changed over to conventional type inlet.

Thank you very much for your answer. The boiler was serviced a long time ago. He doesn't start at all. Could this be caused by a blocked flue?

I'm hearing solenoid energise and a brief second of ignition before flame fails. The only time you will experience smoke/gases coming back through air intake is if the pressure inside chamber and flue is greater than atmospheric.
Of course there could be more going on but I'm willing to bet the attending technician will find a blocked chamber or flue.
Please do not keep trying to ignite the boiler, find a decent engineer to thoroughly look over it.
From what I can see in the video the bearings will definitely need replacing soon, the oil flexi looks in a bad way and could perish at any time, plus anything else that I can't see in the video.
Put your immersion heater on for now so you at least have hot water.
