hi guys,

As above I had this boiler today and couldn’t get that to fire.
The customer got new gas pipes 28mm don’t know why that big but alright.

E133 gas valve opens and drops to 17,5 mbar, Fan is running, pump is running, everything epseems perfect till the ignition,. I took the sparks out checked them all good igniting too.

The boiler will only fire a little when I blow down the silicone hose to the gas valve ...

Any idea ?

I could apimagine a blocked gas valve due to debris .. or fan.
 
I've had this on the same boiler and it was that the ignition probes had warped and bent away from the burner, so they'll still be sparking but just nowhere near the burner.
