needs some advice on my rhino
 
I think I just need ti increase the pump voltage or maybe the internal igniter up.
During auto start with kero I normally get about 2-3 ignition fails before it goes into preheat mode, then on 1st preheat the temp does not rise. So I abort and on the next start if cranks fine. So either its not getting enough fuel or ignitor isn't lighting the fuel fast enough. Or could it be both? Anyway after its running no problems, but have had the
The last 2 ground taxis afterlanding the turbine flames out, with no fault codes. So is it just a simple pump voltage increase?

Increase Pump Pw Ignit. K by 3-5 point and you should be fine...

Ignition fail is due to the setting of "pump PW ignition K" being too low. Leopaul is correct. . .increase 3 points at a time until you have a successful ignition start sequence. If this parameter is set too high, you could wet the burner or have flames on ignition. Usually 3 points from factory test setting is sufficient.

Flame out during taxi back or taxi out . . .puff of smoke or no puff of smoke ? If a puff of smoke, you passed an air bubble. Regardless, you should menu down (manual shows this) to determine the fault code. Additionally, I recommend doing the training exercise (Tx and ECU) again. Remember, the throttle trim is not a "trim"; it is an on - off switch. You must go to "full up and full down" when you are instructed to do so. Do not try to "trim" idle speed with the throttle trim.

Last, if using Futaba Rx, and it is the new HS unit, DO NOT CONNECT THROTTLE CABLE in the digital throttle channel. Use one of the upper channels (white color) and assign to throttle.

Questions, email me for faster response
