The burner flame keep turn off after couple mins not the pilot light. To turn the flame back on, I need to switch the power on and off and sometime the flame stay lit , most other time i need to do it couple times for it to stay lit. My friend said to change the thermostat and remove the air from the boiler so I did both of that, but the trouble still not resolve. There are 3 zones for my boiler with 3 thermostats. The blue top is for basement, the middle is for my bedroom but both of the thermostats always shut. The bottom is the main zone with the new thermostat I just install to heat the whole house. If anyone can give some tips to what I can do to resolve this issue,

Thank you

    Seems like it might be a faulty pilot generator or gas valve.
    That's an old boiler. Probably hovering about 60% efficient. Think about replacement.
    What's with the blue electrical conduit? Is that to code where you're located?

    Probably just need to pull out the pilot and clean the thermopile and make sure you have a nice blue pilot flame. It really is time to have a pro look at that boiler.
