Didier,
I am not sure what you mean by "will not spool up." do you mean it starts to spool up but sputters and dies? Or do you mean the engine just shuts off.
If it is the first scenario, take the spool time up to six seconds and see if that fixes the problem, if so, begin lower the spool time from six seconds back towards three, a half second at a time, until it doesn't run again. As Density Altitude increases, the amount of O2 per given area decreases and the engine can not spool as fast. We can not run a three second spool up time here in Las Vegas in the summer. I think my personal engine is set to 5 or 6.
If it is the second scenario, it may be a failing fuel pump.
Give it a try and let me know.
Chad
Hey Chad,
It's the first, it spools up and starts to sputter, hasn't died yet.. I will give it a try, if outside temp is over 23°c, which is not really the case for the moment, worst summer ever...
Wow, you have it set to 5sec?? isn't that a bit long? if that's the only cure i'm a bit dissapointed in the quality of the turbine..
Do you have your throttle respose set to "hard" also? I like it to respond quick in the lower rpm's, nice for landings..
thx for the swift reply, i send about the same e mail to the manufacturer which is about 1 1/2 h drive from here, but no response yet.. Will see them at jet power next month..
