hey Guys,

I have a New K80 I bought couple days ago from a friend who bought it for a TBM shock Jet. He ended up buying a P60 for it because he didn't like the way the K80 was running. At first it looked like the thermocouple was going out. it would read 4 to 6 degrees when the ambient was around 30 something. so we boxed it up and was going to send it to a Dream Works representative in Panama to have it check. 4 days ago when he told me he wanted to sell it but wanted to fix it first i told him we should just give it another try. so we did and the Turbine is running great no more Temp fail on start up. this is my first turbine ever and I ordered a Shock Jet for it. I have little to none knowledge on turbines. We Started the turbine couple times, but when its doing the Ramp Up after it starts igniting on the kero fuel, it spits out a yellow flame until it gets closer to 40Krpm it stops. this is not excessive in my opinion but not normal compering it to some videos on youtube. I was going to try to record it and post it on youtube so you guys could see what I'm talking about, but when we decided to do that the Power Max can was empty[:@] but as soon as I get a full can Ill do it probably in 2 days or so. like I said when the turbine is running it does perfectly its just that Ramp Up flame that have us Puzzle. My friend witch is the previous owner thinks it is the Pump messing up. so please let me know what you guys think, the shock Jet is going to be here this week and want to get it flying ASAP,

Thanks!
