Thank You. I also initially suspected it to be a pump-error, seems like the pump is running too low? I`ve tried everything - checking fuel-systems, changed fuel, filters,valves, adjusted parameters on the ECU you name it! What happens is, the engine ignites fine on gas, then starts "fuel ramp" up to 50-55k and stays there. The temp rises high, so in fear of damaging anything I shut the turbine down. On One or two attempts I got it up to normal idle, but when increasing throttle, the eng. dies and I get a "flame out" message on the GSU. Where do I get a new pump for this tiny little beast?
