Kingtech 180G Start problem
Good evening, have a issue with my K-180G. Ive had 2 successful flights with the new turbine, on flight number 3 this morning, the 180 started a little slower than usual, but only a few sec slower. Then ran perfect for the remainder of the flight. On flight number 4 I got a Ignition fail message from the data terminal. I did some trouble shooting to see if a connection came loose, checked battery voltage, etc. Everything was normal. Tried again this evening and got the same problem. Looks like the burner temp is not coming up on the start.
Any advice on what to check would be appreciated.
Ive attached a short video of the last start attempt.
Thanks in advance
Craig

Check PM
I sent you my phone number. I have seen this before. The start PW my be to low. I have to raise my when it gets cooler. I have flown at a event and it was hard to start due to the drop in temps so I raised it up to 2 to 4 on that setting and it started every time.
If you are not sure you are welcome to call me.
