Question about starting T-34C

Here is the order that I "thought" I knew how to do:
1.) ALL cockpit switches are in the "off" position.

2.) Battery on, then flip on external lights.

3.) Flip on the starter & ignition switches. Auto ignition is still off (see attached pic)

4.) Fuel lever. I have no idea where that is. The only thing I see in regards to fuel is "fuel pump".

5.) My ITT peaks out at 690 (refer to attached pic). I don't hear any "lightoff".

6.) All I see is black smoke pouring from the prop. Grrrr... so frustrating. :banghead:

So could someone please show me via the pic where in the world this "fuel lever" is.

EDIT: I found where the fuel lever is. It's aft of the throttle.
Baby started right up after the first attempt. :)
 
try the red lever by the throttle quadrant. I don't have this aircraft, but if it's accurate to real life you'll get the job done like that.
 
Its always the last place you look!! So I always look there first :jump::jump::costumes:
 
Mine does the same,even with chocks and parking brake set.Sometimes the parking brake will disengage itself for some reason.
I have tried reinstalling the aircraft,recalibrating flight stick and throttle but still the same.
I dare say its something im doing wrong

Yeh ,keep your prop condition lever at around 30% till engine is warmed a little,push to 100% just before releasing the brake and throttling up.
 
Thoe6969,
Just tried your suggestion twice and it seems to have done the trick

Thanks,
