K86 G5 will not start
This is my first turbine and I am looking for any input as I may be missing something basic.
I set up my turbine to run with Diesel and the KT synthetic oil on a test stand with main tank and UAT as required. The first two starts were without any issues and it ran great. Fast start with stable idle and great transition to full power. I shut it down and then restarted it after a few minutes and it worked well. As the tank started running out I noticed air bubbles showing up in the main fuel line and I shut it off again. I refueled the tank, primed the pump without flooding the turbine and it will not start.
The sequence starts and it makes a strange buzzing noise but there is no ignition and after a few moments it shuts down. The GSU display shows the message “AtomToff” but there are no other errors.
Does anybody have any input and recommendations?
