Default RE: Propane-less starts

Hi Kelly,
It is in fact possible to lube the bearings under software control prior to a start, but only when the bearings appear to be too dry. The GSU menu has a routine to do this and also monitor the change in RPM before/after the lube is injected. It also gives you the rundown time between 8K and 2K RPM as a benchmark. The software to manage the startup sequence is 80% of the code which is about 8 times more than the entire code of most controlers. As to exactly how it works our reply is always "very well"
Cheers
Andre
