Turbine Ignition System Inspection & Maintenance Maintenance of the typical turbine engine ignition system consists primarily of inspection, test, troubleshooting, removal, and installation. Inspection Inspection of the ignition system normally includes the following: Figure 4-75. Igniter plugs. • Ignition lead terminal ... alternative method, the igniter can also be checked by removing it and activating the start cycle, noting the spark across the igniter.

start operation. After these procedures are completed, the engine should be operating efficiently, and ignition should be self-sustaining. If, however, the engine fails to reach sufficient speed to halt the starter operation, the stop switch may be used ... break the circuit from the positive bus to the main contacts of the undercurrent relay. Troubleshooting a Starter Generator Starting System The procedures listed in Figure 5-19 are typical of those used to repair malfunctions in a starter generator…
