Think my boiler may be in trouble.

Boiler wouldn't start today.
Went to try ignite it few times.
Cleaned the inlet filter.
After the inlet filter was cleared - tried it again and there was a puff of white smoke that started coming out near the ignition and what I thought was a shell of singed plastic.

Plugged it out fairly pronto and flicked off oil.
