    Kcopp,

    It sounds like a diaphragm issue. Those units have a rubber diaphragm with a metal needle attached, so when water goes in the diaphragm swells pushes needle into micro switch that tells boiler to fire. Whats nice is you can see the process happen when you turn on the hot water, and if it's sucking the metal needle back in before the water shuts off then bobs you uncle. You can change the whole diaphragm cheap and easy. Since you are there check combustion in case I am wrong.
