Hi any help please

I am trying to help a club mate sort his acquired AMT mercury in a model he bought

First a confession I am a jetcat flyer and so have no knowledge of AMT, but I have used turbines and read the manual

Anyway it is all wired , plugged and plumbed in. (3s lippo on ECU (cheacked with AMT this was ok)) Start unit has air , gas and power

Tried to programme his JR tx (2.4) for throttle and three postion switch

throttle ok but the three postion switch appears to be an issue

I went through the AMT manual's method. I get the off beep Ok , the middle power  beep but the high end start postion  just continously beeps. Occasionaly it goes into the error routine of 5 beeps and then a different sixth beep. I have tried programming throttle, full and closed while programming the switch. I have tried reversing the switch and reprogramming all to no avail.

I checked the plug by removing it and putting it into a prop glow start unit and the plug appears fine. I have checked all the leads and they appear ok  and connected correctly

The only other thing I noticed during all this is his EGT read out on the start box appears to be jumping all over the place at times, checked all its connections seems ok

I am running out of ideas.

Any help appreciated

Ian

Ok  bit of an update

Checked the EGT connections all seemed ok
Recharged, re programmed the three postion with trim above mid

same result with error or continous beeps at on position.

spun the turbine with air, rpm read out  stuck at a number, looks like it is the RPM sensor. so do you think this is the problem, if yes we will order a new one (or two!) rpm sensors

thanks for your support,
