Auto-start not working

Post by Kiwigreg71 »

Forgive me - I'm sure this is operator error but can't solve it. I've had the P-40 for a few months and all was well. Now the auto-start ( clt-E) feature isn't working . The props spin for a few seconds then cut out like it starved of fuel. I thought auto-start would take care of all the details to the plane running, but that's not the case anymore.

Any tips to solve this?

Hi Greg,

Have you actually checked the fuel levels? Both fuel and oil levels should be checked using the Shift 4 "payload and fuel manager". If it's not starting, you may also want to give the aircraft a general look over in the Shift 7 "maintenance hangar".

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks, it was the fuel level. I had to have them all at 100%.
