    Most likely a blockage in the nozzle, though it could be other things too. An easy fix but you will need some basic tools.

    You will have to remove the burner from the boiler and undo the 2 screws at the side of the flame spreader and remove it.

    You will then be able to remove the old nozzle, be careful not to damage the electrodes. You might be better removing them too! Replace the nozzle and reassemble all.

    Hope this helps.
