Too much propane with too little RPM can give you a "hot start". It's a turbine engine phenomena that happens to full scale engines as well as ours.

I believe that is why they have restrictors and solenoids it to regulate the EGT at start up. Without these items...you have lost your overtemp protection, which usually sooner than later leads to premature failure of the engine.

What is the hypothesized failure mode caused by too much propane? I am baffled by this?

Hope your brother is doing well. Thanks bro.
