Gas Boiler Iginition Problem
|

| When I started my gas boiler this fall, I noticed the radiator is not
getting hot so turned the boiler off and re-started. First the fan came
on then automatic iginition started with a series of click sound but no
light. So I put a lighter to the pilot jet to see if gas is coming out
and was able to light it up. But after a minuted or so click stoped and
pilot light went out as well. So this time I measured the voltage going
into the gas valve. THere are three wires to the gas valve (PV, PMV,
MV). When the automatic igition starts I get 24V at PV but 0 and 1V at
PMV and MV. I think when pilot light comes on I should get 24V at MV to
open main gas valve, right? Of course I am guessing all these so if
anyone can shed a little light on this igition sequence, I would
appreciate. Thank!

Dude,
You seriously need to call a *competent*, licensed, insured, professionally
trained, HVAC technician before you gat awarded a posthumous Darwin Award.
