Default K120G starting issue "weak gas"

Hi guys,
I need your help and/or advice. The turbine has 3 hours flight total time and I attempted today to start it after 5 months. During the starting sequence, after stage 3, it fails to start, it cuts down and "weak gas" is displayed on GSU. I make several attempts but with the same result. The turbine battery is LiFe 3s 9.9V 3650mah and it was 96% full with voltage 10.2V. I'm trying to figured out what the problem might be, any help will be much appreciated.

OK guys, problem solved!!!
The fuel filter from pump to turbine was almost clogged, plenty of kerosene residues. I removed it and I placed new one and the turbine runs again.
