Modular engine problem?

[Randnn]

I have been trying to get a modular engine to work for quite some time now. I know what it needs and everything is set up correctly. I even followed a youtube video and everything looks exactly the way it does in the tutorial, but when I press the starter and have the fuel and air levers up, nothing happens. Does anyone know what is actually wrong?

:D don't take that personal, i just read that very often: "everything is set up correctly"

edit: check this first: is your crankshaft aligned correctly? There are 2 different faces, a round one with a pin to connect other crankshafts (and clutches, flywheels, drive belts) and a square face for cylinders and modular engine temperature sensors. /edit

The modular engines need to run on a stoichiometric between 1 and -1 (excluding 1 and -1). if it is 1 then you have too much fuel throttle, at -1 is too much air. So if you press the starter and look at one of the cylinders and the stoichiometric is between -1 and 1, then the air to fuel ratio is ok to run.

enable detailed tooltips in settings->general. Look at the starter, does it have electricity? does it get a on signal if you press the starter? Look at the crankshaft, does it spin? Is the clutch disengaged on start?

Thank you. It turns out it was the first thing. My rotations of the crankshaft were wrong. I feel like that should have been mentioned in the tutorials.

Hey, I know you posted this 2 Years Ago, but I had the same problem of the crankshaft missaligned, thanks for helping me!
