Default kero start olympus

Saw on the order form for turbines on the AMT Netherlands webpage that the olympus is available with kero start. Anyone with experience with this engine and its kero start version?

Yes, kero start on the Olympus is now availeble. We build a lot of engines. Our End Of Line test is starting the engine several times. None have failed until know. Also we didn't get any complain from our customers.

Is the ceramic glow igniter internal or external?

The igniter is replacing the glow plug. So it's outside. The igniter fuel line is placed over the hull in to a connection at the front cap.

We will make some pictures.

I have two AMT NT Olympus. What else is involved in converting a Propane start turbine to Kero? Just the plug or need a new ECU. ALso will the EDT work with the Kero Setup? And how much does it cost to convert?
