yeah, autostart always works fine, but I tried manual start now (like in Chucks guide), step by step, engine RPM stays at 20%...

Please dont use the bugs section for this questions.

 

 

It's "Bug and Problems" for a reason, not "Bugs only".

 

 

trustvector, I know it's same for the 2nd engine... I didn't write that it's the 2nd engine problem... I did COMPLETE fresh manual start, no engine running, and 1st engine (left) won't go over 20% RPM.

Can´t be rotor brake (won´t start anyway). Can you please describe you steps done ? Never had problems with starting...

 

 

yes, here the steps as from Chucks guide dated from 21.12.2016:

 

 

1.Select Flight Engineer by pressing “3” and turn on

all circuit breakers by clicking handles.

2. Turn off Anti-Ice system breakers if you are flying in

a hot day (above 0 deg C). Tip: these breakers are to

the right of the two breakers that are OFF by

default.

3. Optional - Make sure that all switches are OFF .

4. Set Hydraulic switch to MAIN (UP), Fuel Crossfeed

valve ON (UP) and Fuel Bypass OFF (DOWN).

 

5. Set Fuel Content Selector to “Total” and

check fuel quantity .

6. Collective full DOWN, Throttle FULL LEFT

(CLOSED), Condition Levers MIDDLE

7. Battery # 1 & 2 – ON (UP). STBY Gen – OFF

(DOWN)

8. DC selector knob – BATTERY BUS

9. 36V Instrument Transformer – MAIN (UP)

10. 115V Inverter – MANUAL (UP)

11. Set radio to AM, R-863 (УКР/UHF) and

RADIO and desired frequency (tower).

12. Fire Protection Switch – FIRE EXTING. (UP)

13. Service Fuel Pump ON

14. LEFT & RIGHT Fuel Shutoff Valves – ON

• Note: Flip red cover switch

 

15. Pitot Heat – ON/UP (as required)

16. APU Mode Switch – START (UP)

17. Press APU START switch (2-3 sec). Make sure EGT, Air and Oil

Pressure are rising within 9 seconds. Wait until APU has

stabilized (1 min approx.)

18. Select Left Engine (or downwind engine first) and select

“START” (UP) starting mode.

19. Release Rotor Brake (DOWN position)

20. Press “START” button for 2 to 3 seconds to initiate start

sequence.

21. Click on left/selected engine red fuel shutoff lever (“Engine

Stop”) to push it forward. RPM should begin to rise.

22. Once Engine # 1 reaches a N1 RPM of 60-65 %, wait 1 minute

for APU to cool down (optional) and select right engine.

 

 

There, at step 22. it reaches only 20%, not even close to 60%. (pilot intrument engine RPM)

21. Click on left/selected engine red fuel shutoff lever (“Engine Stop”) to push it forward. RPM should begin to rise.

Here. Do you do this step for each engine immediately after the start sequence has started (all green lamps on the engine start panel lit)? Or do you wait a while for the rpm to reach the said 20%?

If you wait, the engine won't start. Then you need to crank it a while to remove excessive fuel.

You should operate the shutoff lever immediately after the rpm needle start moving. I suggest you read the official manual on this procedure since it goes more in depth (not necessary to perform all system checks), and also describes routines if failing.

And these two levers can be put in the forward position both before actually starting the engines, after APU is started, for example
