gulredrel Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hello, question regarding the stop levers and the start sequence. I started the first engine normal, using the startup sequence described in the manual. During engine startup of the second engine, I accidently set the corresponding engine stop lever to the off position ("Wurstfinger" on the keyboard, as we say in Germany). Engine spooled down and stopped. I now wanted to restart this engine but to no luck. APU was running normally, I tried different times starting the starter sequence but RPM did not rise above 0. Engine temp went up to 120°C but no rise in rpm. I even tried cold cranking position but nothing happens. Is there a way to repeat an aborted start sequence on an engine?

Grodlund Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Probably flooded engines. Try closing the fuel cut off valves, then set the starter switch to crank, and then start the engines a couple of times. I have struggled with this myself, and sometimes it works, sometimes it dont. I usually run a full crank startup three times. This is the proceedure i learned with the KA-50, and it works well on that module.

msalama Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yeah, a couple of engine cranks should do it. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulredrel Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Okay thanks. Something that may get fixed in the future? So better keep that clumsy fingers away from the stop levers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaOneSix Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I am not sure it's been officially reported. It's rather low priority. Like you say, better to just double-check the stop levers first. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
