k60 kingtech turbine start fail
hi hope someone can help me installed my turbine with out problems i<br />
have tested it 3 times on a bench, then make maiden flight and another one with<br />
out problems, after 2 month with out flying, i want to start the<br />
turbine and did not start, it stays on stage 1, can someone tell me<br />
whats the problem, i know its under warranty, so what can i do?<br />
<br />
<br />
it the problem is the fuel pump?<br />
its the problem its the turbine?<br />
<br />
One thing I noticed: when connecting turbine back to fuel line I left air in a 2cm section between valve and engine. During ignition it remained empty although pump blinks. Pump test is fine although.<br />
<br />
<br />
video before the problem when it was running correct.<br />
<br />

My Feedback: (3)
As long as stage 1 is not achieved ECU will not switch to stage 2.
Guess you have to check a couple of issues:
A- Make sure that your 3S LiFe battery is well charged and providing enough juice for heating the plug/chamber (do you see the temperature figures rise on the GSU?)
B- Are using Kerosene or Diesel? I had a similar issue with 1 of my turbines, Factory settings were done for Diesel and they had to be slightly modified to run on Kerosene
C- increase pw slightly on stage 1 and re try.
Hope this helps.

Is there any progress?
Because I have same problem with K45. Every test is normal seperately. Fuel pump, glow plug, starter, valfs and life batery are normal. But temperature doesnt increase.
