Default Turbo prop help needed

I am at bomber trying to asist someone in getting a turbo prop running. On the start sequence it spools the turbine and then fails to a low temp. It never lights off on propane. I have cheked the fuel pump and solenoid. As well as the propane solenoid. That is testing fine. Can someone call me on my cell phone or leave a number for me to call. 7133043818. Thank you

Hello,

The glow plug is either bad or not getting hot enough. Make sure at least 1/8 inch of coil is pulled out and that the coil is not shorted to the plug body. Start bumping the plug voltasge up, with a Rossi I would go straight to 2.6v minimum. You might also want to lower the starting gas percentage down 10% from wherever it is set now.

Regards,
