ORIGINAL: Wren Turbines USA
Several questions need to be addressed before we can evaluate this problem.
Is this a new install?
Had the motor always started prior to this?
Any fabricated extensions being used to the starter/glow ?
Onboard propane or direct from a bottle?
Solenoid connected properly? (proper flow direction and properly connected to the ECU)
How many turns c/w on the propane needle?
Location of glow plug (top-side bottom?)
Verify that the solenoid is actually working?

Thanks for the suggestions Ron and others. After not sleeping thinking about this I went out and tried to sort it out. This engine has always started with no issues EVER. I hadnt ran this turbine for about 4 months. I checked the gas line to the engine again and tried to start it with the powermax directly into the turbine bypassing the thumbscrew. Bad idea, as I got it to light in a BIG way[:@] Massive fireball but a quick spurt of the extinguisher took care of that. So I knew at this point it was def. getting propane! Next I hooked the gas line back to the thumscrew and oened the screw 1.5 turns abd tried it again. VOILA! Glory!!!!! Although I inverted the powermax can, I quickly learned how little gas this turbine needs to light off. I think I was trying to start with WAAAAAY too much gas. I did a proper shut down and started it again just to make sure it wasnt a fluke.
I also learned to ALWAYS have an extinguisher nearby and to NEVER EVER get complacent with an extinguisher. If I had, I would have had some fire damage for sure!
