ORIGINAL: JetTracks
Is their some hidden setting for fuel pump flow in the new version 6 software. I just got my P70 back from Jet Cat and it doesn't start up like it used to. I have both UNAC 1 and 2 set to maximum and they still both seem to low. The engine has to crank a long tome before it will light off.
Thanks,
Norm
Hi Norm,
As for the turbine "cranking" before it "lights off", do you mean before the starting gas (Powermax) lights off? If this is what you are referring too, try a Novarossi plug with the element pulled out like the manual shows, and set the glow voltage to about 2.75 volts. Lower the gas percentage down about 10-20% from where it is now and try that.
As for the pump parameters, when you sent you turbine in, did you send the pump? Just curious, trying to find out how old the pump is. Do you have a spare to try? I have a spare I can loan you if you want to try that, shoot me a PM with your address and I will get it to you if you need one. These parameters can vary quite a bit (based ont he individual variations of the PUMP, not the turbine), and *****g them both out on most pumps will yield a lot of flames.
If you hold down the "Limits" button, then press "+" it will take you straight to a submenu for the Uaccel voltages. If indeed you have maxed them both out, I would suspect a bad pump. Can you PM me both of those pump voltage parameters as well, that will help for troubleshooting.
Looking forward to getting this turbine running well!
