I believe the JFS(jet fuel starter) disintegrated. From what I can remember and it was not a system I was expert when I worked -15’s, but the JFS in conjunction with the CGB( central gearbox) are the initial engine starting systems. The CGB starts spinning 2 other gearbox’s that have the hydraulic reservoirs and the aircraft generators and also a shaft that starts spinning the main engine gears.

Expert on C-17’s though and can figure out and F-16 pretty good. Edited August 24 by USAFsparkchaser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
