Default Failed Starts

I had Five Flights yesterday with the P80..Two times it failed start up with the read out "High Temp" But it would start right up , right afterwards. Ran fine otherwise! What Da Ya think?

Default RE: Failed Starts

Hi

The first thing I would do is lower the pump start voltage.

If the pump start voltage is adjusted too high, the turbine maybe supplied with too much
fuel during start up. This could result in the High Temp readings

Calibrating the Pump

1.) Interrupt fuel supply to the turbine. If the fuel supply to the turbine is not disconnected /
interrupted the turbine can be filled with fuel during the following adjustment
procedure!!!

2.) Switch off ECU and plug in GSU (RC transmitter is not being used)

3.) Press and hold "Change Value/Item" key on the GSU then switch on the ECU (the reciever)

4.) Release the "Change Value/Item" when the display of the GSU shows the following:

pump start volt:
Uaccelr1:

5.) By pressing the "Run" key, the pump will run at the current "pump start voltage" value. Try it now.

6.) The pump start voltage should now be adjusted in such a manner, that the pump just
begins to steadily turn and that the fuel is delivered in a thin fuel stream (a little bit more
than just dripping out of the tubing).

To increase the pump start voltage by one increment, press the "Arrow +" key.
To decrease the pump start voltage by one increment, press the "Arrow -" key.

A trick I use is to have a stream that is just turning from a stream to a series of rapid drips, and then increasing the voltage by one increment past that setting

7.) At the end of the adjustment procedure press the "Manual" key to store the new setting
and resume to normal operation.

Good luck and tell me how it goes.
