Chaudiere won't light first thing.

Anyone else had this problem? The Oil chaudiere is very reluctant to light first thing in the morning: After several time-out/resets it will usually fire up if I turn it off during the ignition phase of the start-up cycle and turn it on again just as the fan is stopping.

Once it gets hot there's no problem; it will cycle on and off every ten minutes or so quite happily for the rest of the day.

During the summer I noticed it fire up for half an hour or when the evening got cool - and that would be after standing untouched for a couple of months - with no problem, but now??? Bastard has me shivering in the drafty barn every morning !

I've cleaned the jet and de-carboned the swirl chamber and cleaned and reset the electrodes....

The diesel is flowing well enough (I can hear it dribbling back into the tank)....

Anyone any other ideas?
