Status: offline 		 Hi guys,

i have a Kingtech k80F kerostart and today when i landed my plane and when i tried to start up again for the second flight i had a message on GSU says..

'GLOW BAD' and the turbine doesn't start up.

The turbine is brand new with 20 minutes of run time..

Does anybody knows what this means?

I hope that is not what i'm afraid of...malfunction on the kero plug?!!

Thank in advance for any replies guys...

First check ECU amp circuit. In kero mode set trim max and throttle max.. The starter motor should engage. See screen 2 for reading for amps.

If this ok, then you have a bad connection on the Kero copper wire. I have found that the varnish on the wire was not removed when soldered to terminal. Take off cover ad check the wire for good electrical continuity...

Regards

Morne
