Default Glow worm boiler problem

I have just fitted a new central heating circlation pump which is
located close to an old glow worm boiler.(lots of spanners, hammering)
The pump works fine but on starting the central heating after
completing the job the boiler would not work properly. The pilot light
kept going out. I bought a new themocouple thinking this was the
problem but still no joy. What happens is the pilot lights and stays
lit, when the main jets are fired up it works OK, but shortly after
there is a click and the main burner and pilot both cut out. Any
ideas?


Check the terminal assembly is clear, ours started going out after the
gas board *serviced* it, they vac out the boiler housing, but not the
flue/inlet duct, the thing just runs out of oxygen, and now being the
time of leaf fall it just might be....BTDT every 2 years!
