Hi All,

I have a K45G in the mini Avanti (Tams pipe) and I am having an issue with wets starts.

It seems to ignite fine, but then there are flames out the back of the motor.The starter motor is turning very slowly at this time. It seems like it is getting too much fuel or not enough RPM to blow it down the pipe. Is there something that I can adjust to fix this?

What's your pump start value?

Morning Andy, thanks for the reply.

I'll have to take a look tonight and see. Its set at whatever the factory default is though, I haven't changed anything.

I also make sure the fuel shutoff valve is closed when fueling.

Is this something that just started acting up, or a new install?

Andy,

It is new install, 8 flights so far. I do have the valve shut while fueling. I'll get pump settings and some pics tonight.

I had similar issue with mine, it was the starter motor, that didnt reach the rpm for the switchover phase, and the engine was a flamethrower... my engine was new at the time, kingtech replace the starter motor so then it worked fine.

I spoke with Barry and he had me change some parameters. I'll give it a try this weekend.
