I've got an old steam boiler which I maintain, self taught using this web site as primary resource. I've currently got a ra890f1288 controller that I think is failing. I have voltages to it, have line voltage through water feed and pressuretrol circuit. Pressing left relay in ra890f will start burner but shuts self off after 1 minute or so. Electronic ignition, can't get pilot to light even with a torch.

Any thoughts? Time to call for service? ( After 5:00 pm on a Saturday of course. ) Thanks.

Todd H.

    Oops, never mind - brain fart - didn't have "call for heat" temp set high enough.
    Thanks
