The new Kodiak Turbo Prop will not start. Are there any tips out there?
Have you followed a tutorial? There are some great videos on YouTube that walk through start-up etc.
Does the start engage? Some more detail could be helpful.
This is all from memory but it should get it started.
Overhead fuel selectors to on.
Fuel cutoff closed (pushed in).
Battery on.
Avionics on.
Aux fuel pump to arm.
Ignition to on.
Start switch to Lo start.
Watch G1000 EIS strip for around 12% Ng and then move condition (red) lever to lo idle(mid position)
Once Ng reaches 54% turn starter switch off.
Remember to also advance the prop (blue) lever.

Following checklist just fine. Ng 14+%, condition to low idle, Ng rises to 21.3-21.4 and will not climb further.
Are you getting any fuel flow or ignition?
For me, there is ignition and fuel flow (on low idle). About 10 tries with only one successful start.
A video showing the switch and control settings during the 10 tries might help someone spot the problem.
