Default 100XBL start failure

I have a Merlin 100XBL purhased Dec. 2015 Sn 132650. I test ran it right after receipt and test run was OK. Today I tried to start it and the kero never lit. I have run a lot of propane start engines but this is my first Kero start. The starter runs it up to 4000 rpm and then it fades down to approx. 3000 over the next 45 seconds but kero never lights.
Looking for suggestions.

P.S. I tried a new battery 2S lipo and another battery that works OK on Propane start engine using a very short lead from battery to ESC.
