Baxi solo 15 he exploding on start up!

[Brian44]

I have a Baxi s 15 HE that on start up internally explodes a couple of times before finally igniting.
With the outer & Internal cover off this does not happen. Could this be that the boiler is not getting enough air in through the balanced flue?
i appreciate your feed back.
