Hi all,

Just after some opinions or any thoughts or help.

I've just had my P160 SE back from JC after a full rebuild and remounted it in my Carf Tutor.

Took it down the field to test yesterday only to find the engine wont run.

The start up sequence is like normal, ignition and the propane or kero plug valve pulses, but no fuel seems to be pushed through the pipes, the ecu tries 4 times, before starting accel delay, pump kicks in and forces some fuel through the pipes, but then the turbine cuts out saying low temp.

I'm thinking it's a faulty fuel valve, tested to see if my plumbing was all correct, but even removing the pipes and seeing if any fuel drips out the pipe during the start up sequence proves the valve doesn't seem to be pumping fuel.

Anyone any thoughts, does it sound like a sticky valve or faulty unit?
