Default P-200 pump running high rpm when switching rc on

Hi!

Older P-200 with v5.1 ecu. Not run for couple of years. Converted to kero start. Previously about 30 faultless kero starts and about 5 hours total run time. Haven't changed anything during storage, same wiring and checked connections several times. 3s lipo ecu battery - also correctly teached ecu on that. And learn rc done. BUT when turning rc ON pump is constantly running on high rpm...pump definitely works because the pressure bursted a Festo fuel line behind a solenoid in maybe 2 seconds before I got rc-off! Nice (but scary) spray of kero! Reseted ecu but doesn't help. Seems like faulty ecu? Anything I have missed?

Yes, problem solved, I got a new ecu! Do not use 3s lipo - this is what I was told. Broken ecu had burned fets etc.

The Rx motors can use 3s Li-Po's with the V10 ECU. Janne's V6 couldn't ;-)

If the Rx is doing it its another fault, do you have access to another Rx pump you can plug in and try? There are electronics in the Rx pumps. If not the turbine needs to go back.
