The turbine starts/runs great when I "hose it" with direct propane and light it with my BBQ "stick" lighter. [sm=bananahead.gif] There are other residual issues - e.g., ECU start functionality and gas start - and I didn't want to deal with a science project on a brand new turbine ... so I boxed it all up and sent it back to John at FTE. According to UPS, it's been in John's hands since early last week (31 Oct). Haven't heard a word but a suppose they were all getting ready for FJIR. I'll bug 'em next week.

Thanks for all the suggestions and encouragement - no more updates from me unless the story has a less than optimum ending.

Cheers.

Mike
