The 1st start up was rather rough and LONG, like really long. It took a long while for the fuel to get thought the lines. I think because those turbines/pumps/valves haven’t run in several years it took a long while to get fuel moving. Also a ALOT of flames, belching, and smoke during the start. The right engine seemed to start quicker then the left. Even once started there was a lot of puffing smoke and erratic idle RPM. So I let them idle for a few min before giving it throttle. After a few full power runs they got smoother, more stable and less smoke. I think it was just due to old oil/fuel being pushed through everything. Subsequent starts were better, but the left engine still lagged WAY behind the right. I will give the batteries a cycle and try again.
What a monster though!!!
