Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a RAM 500 turbine with zero hours of runtime. I have not had any luck getting the engine to run repeatedly. Here is the history of startup attempts:

Day 1

1. Fuel solenoid not opening to release fuel to the turbine. (Removed the fuel solenoid).
2. Successful start. Ran well.
3. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear.
4. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear.
5. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear.
5. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear, plug burned out.

Day 2

1. Propaned ignited, not start.
2. Manually fed propane, successful start.
3. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear, plug burned out.
4. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear, plug burned out.
5. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear, plug burned out.

Day 3

1. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear, plug burned out.
2. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear, plug burned out.
3. Propane ignited, fuel ramp up, turbine did not start, fuel came out of the rear, plug burned out.

My ECU is version 3.0. The settings are:

Low RPM - 50K
Hi RPM - 150K
GlowPlug - 035
PrimePW - 150
StartPW - 78]
Gas - 60

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris Wilson
