I agree with Tom, AMT Netherlands is the best of the best - just contact Bennie direct and he'll probably sort the problem out for you without the engine going back to Holland.

I think that you will find your rpm sesnor is not working. Try plugging in your EDT and then make a start cycle, look at the edt and see if the rpm comes up if not there is your problem. The ECU is looking for rpm increase before it will back off the starter and then add the gas for a richening mixture to obtain a light off. It may be just as simple that the rpm lead has become disconneted. It may also be that the rpm sesor has failed.

I had the same problem, and after hours of trying to figure out why it would not start, the EDT showed that the RPM was not registering. I agree with the above post by Esprit. I ordered a new RPM sensor and she worked great. By the way, The sensor was working perfact just one month prior, and just decided to stop working. Hope that helps.

I had a similar problem with one of my Pegasus'. On checking out the turbine with the EDT I found that the RPM sensor was not working (there is a capacitor inline between the sensor and the ECU...mine had broken the lead from the capacitor). I called Tom Cook at Jet Model Products and had a new one the second day. Installed in about 10 minutes and worked perfectly since then. Tom stocks a few replacement sensors.
