9/10 times the ignition lead on these boilers arcs out on the case. A bit of electrical tap wrapped around the lead will do the trick

The cover is the one at the top off the boiler which covers the fan its held on by two screws just above the eletrical cover, I think its either the pressure switch or the fan.
