Gloworm Ultimate 50ff

Just called at a breakdown on one of these and ant find the fault!
Gloworm tech aren't answering the phones and it's doing my head in tbh.
The thing sparks, the fan and pump run but it won't ignite.
Many duggestions as to what it might be?

 

[quality]

pilot injector blocked or failed gas solenoid

 

[jtsplumbing]

is it sparking ??

 

[Gasmk1]

pilot injector is very prone to blocking on these two small holes can be cleaned with wire new injector about £12.00 be careful as the nut sometimes sticks and snaps at the olive which will mean new pilot supply. also could be gas valve nit opening for pilot easy to prove undo pilot tube

 

[Last Plumber]

as above mainly

Pilot blocked
Failed solenoid
Blockage to gas valve (filter) Manometer on WP test point to make sure gas is there
Spark weak or bad position maybe even tracking through damaged HT lead.
Air intake on pilot blocked ?

It's got lights on the board aswell that point you in directions for faults on these.

Think it has 3 lights if I remember rightly

Yep - it's sparking. I replaced a damaged HT lead as that was the original diagnosis.

Didn't think of the one - I'll give it a try later today when I go back
