Well today was my first attempt at flying my Retrojet, I am back here so all not well.
I stripped everything out and rebuilt and replaced cables and solenoids. No trapped fuel lines and lots of air for the engine.

I put the aircraft all together with great expectation. The turbine started, went to KERO START, engine ran up smoothly then the GSU showed it going to FULL KERO and the turbine wound down. I tries several more times. Each time the KERO START would come on the GSU, it would start ti fire up and shut down.
Could it be the fuel pump? The only spare I don't have.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you
