Re: Kingtech k100g (280min) starting problems

Wonder if it was air bubbles in the system ?

I took mine out of the plane and looked it over all seamed to be fine, reinstalled and tried to restart it again and it started with no problems did this a 3-4 time and all seams to be good..

I had this problem with a JM 100 this spring.Thought I was going to have to send it in. Turned out to be sticky residue on the bearings(despite using recommended oils). Found it by trying to spin the turbine with my finger. I primed the engine to slightly flood the bearing galleries, then blew out the excess fuel, waited a while and started the engine with a leaf blower handy. It started right away with very little flame.

Re: Kingtech k100g (280min) starting problems

The usual steps when the ECU is matched to the transmitter, is for a start , trim up , throttle up for say 3 or 4 seconds and then throttle back to idle. And for shutdown ... Throttle down to idle and then trim down......I have mine on a switch which controls idle up and down. Had the switch reversed somehow last weekend on my Wren 44 TP , got a start ok but the ECU was all confused as to shutdown as I had the switch reversed. Was ok after I did an electronic switch reverse and a relearn. Have it this way on my Jets Munt and works fine. Same as throttle cut on glow or ignition.

Maybe try a relearn between the transmitter and your KingTech ECU ?

Never got this message from any of my kingtechs in the past so it's new to me.

Kingtech k100g (280min) starting problems

Tried to start the turbine today and twice I got the msg start bad (rpm got to 2700). Was about to packup and tried it one more time and it started, am I right in thinking that my starter maybe on its way out. I run a a123 9.9v pack.and have to run the starter to drop it down trim down stick up for 3 sec, I do this 2 or 3 times only on the first run of the day as its fresh of a charge.
Help info please
Dennis
