Inadequate hot water from domestic coil sometimes

I have a V8 series Burnham oil-fired boiler with domestic hot water coil, controlled by an L8124C Honeywell Triple Aquastat. About 80% of the time the domestic hot water is just fine for a shower, but about 20% of the time it's not hot enough; in these cases I have to turn the water off, wait a minute or two and then turn it back on -- at that point it will be OK (the burner has fired up). This has been happening during the summer, so cold water returning from the house heating system is not an issue here. I suspect that the aquastat has become flaky but would be interested in opinions from people with some experience.
