Can you start the engines on NAMC Ys-11?

I love the NAMC Ys-11, but I get an engine shutdown (No 2 engine) at takeoff power. Does anyone else have this problem? How to restart and prepare engines for takeoff?
Thank you for any suggestions.

Best to use standard Cessna with cold systems (battery and fuel) and trim 0 as startup plane and then switch to NAMC, it doesn't like switching from other planes.

You must turn off the autofeather and press the two really large red buttons (feather) also before you do anything.

Do not use Ctrl + E but the start procedure:

- Shift B (Master battery to "On")
- High pressure cocks to feather (throttle panel) i.e. below red band!
- check that autofeather is disarmed (front panel next to 6 colored lights)
- on starter and ignition panel set No. 2 relight to "on"
- set engine select to No. 2
- starter master switch to "Start"
- push starter push button
- wait for rpms to rise to about 2000
- high pressure cock to on
- when revs stabilize at about 9300 set cocks to HSWL (High stop withdrawal lock)
- after startup engine relights to off and starter master switch to "safe"

- repeat for other engine


- 15500 rpm for take-off power and 14500 for climb. Do not over-rev engine on takeoff (or later! It will overheat and burn out very quickly!

The real NAMC was notoriously underpowered with a low ceiling

Hope this helps!
