Default P-180RXI LowTemp on startup

Hi, got a secondhand RXI that won't start. All tests seems fine, glow plug shines bright, everything spins etc, but after some acceleration I get the LowTemp error. So far only tested with a 3S Lipo. Have opened the front cover, nothing fried. And it doesn't seem to be flooded either.

Any hints and tips would be appreciated.

Probably a faulty valve, please watch the engine from the rear side while starting the engine and see if there is flames, if the glow plug turns on and brights but no flames then you have problem either with the kerostart solinoid or the fuel pump, i dont have 180rxi by the way but most engines have same consept .

Therese are flammer for sure. Have had support by phone with JetCat Germany with no success so far. I think this one goes back to them.

Looks like this

Once you hear the turbine wheel rubbing, shut it down would be my first suggestion!! Allowing it to run and rub is really not good.
your video is not in focus on the mini GSU so I can't see figures to know what is happening.
there are things you could try but I would send it back as that turbine wheel needs looking at now anyway
