Hi Mark,
Use a handheld pump or syringe. Your understanding of attachment to the turbine is correct.
A pump start voltage of 2V is excessive. The Jetcat Instruction Manual states normal values are between 0.10-0.325V.
I’m of the opinion that you have a fuel restriction to the burner valve as it runs normally following a successful start. Have you carried out a burner valve test downstream of the solenoid valve? If so, what was the lowest pump start voltage obtained when the fuel commenced to dribble to atmosphere?
If you have another Jetcat then consider replacing the fuel pump and if that doesn’t work change the burner solenoid valve as well.
Regards,
George
George,
I have been running jetcat kero start for over 3years now on all of my motors. A .200 setting is the typical setup direct from jetcat. I have NEVER seen a normal starting motor work below that setting consistantly.
Mark,
Just another thought for you.Please make sure you have the kero start valve plugged into the correct outlet on the ecu. The motor will start if its plugged into the speed sensor port but it will be erractic and time out alot.
