Am I doing this wrong?
I've got a Wasp H 20, trying to figure out if I have the fuel and propane lines going where they ought to be going........looking at the engine head on, glow plug on top, (this is an auto start engine) the festo fitting at 12 o'clock would be the fuel or propane inlet, and the festo fitting at about the 4 o'clock position would be the propane or fuel inlet.....I did have the fuel line at the 12 o'clock position and got somewhat of a hung start, it would not ramp completely....so I switched them around and tried to start but ran out of powermax.....plus i might have a solenoid sticking.....anyway....got any suggestions.....thanks....Perry

if you are not sure, pull the cowl off (usually 4 screws) and see where the tubes go...on almost every turbine, the fuel line will have a "T" connector for the bearing lube line.........

Heatseeker.....by gas you mean propane, not jet A........and to Wayne22, there is no "T" fitting....there must be a split of some source behind the diffuser.....Perry
