Question:
How to bring an old boiler back to life.

I have a faulty 1993 Waterford-Stanley gas fired Stanley Superstar cooker/boiler 80,000btu. It will not ignite.
It has been used daily since 1993 to cook and heat our home.
BTW: I know it doesn't owe me much but it will mean major kitchen alterations if I have to throw it out 'just because it's old'.
It has needed some but minimal repair / replacements over the years.

I need to consider replacing the 'Ecoflam, Model Azur 30' gas burner.

Problems:
1993 Stanley Super Star cooker/boiler is no longer in production.
Ecoflam azur 30 obsolete. (Ecoflam company help department tell me this)
Ecoflam say there is no suitable alternatve gas busrner to fit the 1993 Stanley cooker (Ecoflam company help department tell me this)

I cnnot find any relevant info' when doing a google search nationnally or internationnally on this boiler or gas burner.

I hope some one on this forum can advise on a way forward to keep this 1993 cooker/boiler in use.

Best reagrads

There are a few for sale ( used ) oil gas and solid fuel . It’s hard to guess what your issue is from the information you have supplied. It could be as simple as a blocked injector or worse a faulty component. It not a make I’m familiar with but most cookers operate on similar principles but they all incorporate a flame safety device . It could be a ffd ( flame failure device) or a thermo electric valve ( thermo couple ) once the flame is established it’s then controlled by a thermostat. As yours is not lighting at all ( I assume ) its sounds like an ffd . Then there’s the really old safety device called a bi - metallic strip . Are you able to take a picture of the burner and any associated safety devices if not from within the oven then from the rear . In the end you may have to buy an old used one to canibalise it for the parts you need . You can’t fit a modified part it has to be an original part ( ideally brand new ) but in your case that’s unlikely..
