The pilot (and hence main burners) on my Fuelsaver 55F are not lighting. The ignition is firing away but no gas it would appear.
I've put a voltmeter across the terminal to the solenoid valves, with the ignition sparking, and I'm reading about 0.6 of a volt!! Does anyone know if this should be more like 240v? I've checked all the wiring and connections
Any thoughts please......new PCB or new solenoid valves?
you need to put 1 probe on the solenoid and 1 to earth, this should be 240 vac, or set your meter to resistance, turn power off and test across solenoids, this should show a resistance, if it shows o/l (open circuit) then the solenoid has gone.

Changed the PCB but has made no difference. The ignition spark is still nice and strong but no pilot.
I took the cover off the solenoids, everything looks in virtually new condition (not that means there isn't a problem). Theres continuity in all the wires but no sign off any action at all!!
Should I try and replace the electrode and HT wire (or are these functioning ok as I'm getting a spark?) or the sensor?
Any other thoughts would be really appreciated.
Thanks
