+1 bought a roll of wick off ebay (enough for 10 years
) cut the cutouts for the oilways with scissors, very easy to do. Did have a problem a few years ago, so got a so called expert on Rayburn's out, decking clueless he was ! cost an arm and a leg, and it was no better . Trawled the internet and figured out that it was the slit in the oil control valve that was gummed up. Gently cleaned it and the Rayburn was working like a new one in no time +1 bought a roll of wick off ebay (enough for 10 years
Its a good idea to clean the stem in the OCV as you describe every service, I'd put that above changing the wicks, they'll last for years if set up right
