Thanks for the responses. I should have mentioned that I am using diesel fuel, 5% kingtech turbine oil. George, you're right, the settings I listed are from the manual's diesel column.

Using the parameters from the manual (diesel), the first start resulted in repeated "ignition fail" messages.

After a while, I progressively increased the pump pw ignition k (whatever that is) to 30. I also increased the "preheat fuel" to 30% progressively. Always the same thing, "ignition fail".

As background, I did prime the pump, and verified the fuel does flow thru the filter.

I also went thru the fuel valve test and could hear it clicking. During start up sequence, I can see the fuel pump led light pulsing.

Glow plug test ok, too. Altitude here is about 1000msl. The temperature was a bit cold, maybe 35degrees F. Maybe that's part of the issue.

During start attempts, the rpm shows around 2500. Is that normal? Anyone care to share their K80 model G settings?
