Load C&D into any PC-6 and start engine without turning on fuel valve. Note, turning valve ON and then OFF will shut off the flow of fuel to the engine. From that point forward, the valve works as expected.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes, on PC.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Starting cold and dark has fuel condition lever set to low idle instead of cutoff. The fuel condition lever uses custom code which actually also sets (>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_ALL), the same code that the fuel valve switch sets. This is why the fuel valve is turned on at cold and dark load. With the fuel condition lever already in the low idle position at load there are also some other fuel variables not set, so you have to wiggle the lever to get the engine to start.
Repro steps:

  • Battery master on
  • Engine start on
  • Leave fuel valve switch untouched in closed position
  • Move the fuel condition lever to different position and back to low idle. Engine will start.
  • Move fuel valve switch to open and then back to closed, engine will stop.
