First start was just a bit of flames... second start there was no mistaking the flames and took longer to spool. Third start took very long to spool and produced flames about 1.5 feet long. Unfortunately my GSU was not with me so no reading are available. Once fully spooled up it performed the same in the air. Seems to be a ramping issue

Any thoughts? What can I do to correct this?

Thanks!

Ps... This is on Diesel with Shell 560. 20c 10v battery
Turbine wheel rubbing? Distortion of the aft EGV causes localized rubbing, this slows acceleration artificially and the ECU over compensates on pump voltage. Once everything heats up the rubbing goes away. Does it do it on a second (immediate) start with a hot turbine?
