P120sx inter.kero start problem
Had problems starting a 120 sx internal kero start . Switched to propane start , plug lites on test and start, but propane will not ignite to start and just times out. You can see the kero element when plug is out of hole.
Is that getting in the way.
From the on start it did start but with difficulty . So decide to try propane.
Apprec any in put thanks rich barile

120 SX has an internal Kero burner. If it has checker on the front cover it’s an SE.
So to help we need to know what you have. How it’s Plummed from the pump

Well , it has checkers on the front cover, but ecu states SX. When i went to propane , I disconnect kero from valve, prop. valve is separate and prop. only.
I even tried straight prop. to the turbine with no valve. also checked to see if it was clogged seem good ( i have another 120 about the same ), does not seem to be clogged. The turbine only has about 30mins on it ,
You can see the cond. is excellent front fan is still like chrome.
Oh Ive read that some guys use colman prop/butane. Im using straight propane, does the coleman mix work better. didnt think so , butane is not
that good??
yes or no ?

If it is an SX...sounds right it is a kero start turbine and will not start on gas!
Pump should be Y'd through both the valves (yes one plugs in to a connection on the V6 ECU still marked propane.Make sure ECU is set to Kero start.
Prime both lines in test functions and off you go

Kero start will never be as fast, it’s part of the idea, the turbine innards are not shocked with heat.
On the GSU press and hold Limits, then press + and let go. It’s should say Url1. Press and hold the change value button and press + three times.
Press run and try it next time you can
