So is the callout 'valve' referring to releasing the starter switch?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am a maintaner for a C-130H that lives in a museum, i want to make sure she gets well maintained and so i am learning as much as i can about the C-130.

Apart from that, said museum also has a simulator:

I noticed during a few startups that the SEC fuel pump press light goes out before the start valve open light goes out.

However during startup callouts; FE calls:

Indicator, fuel flow, lightoff, Oil Pressures, hydraulics, Parralel,(starter), Valve, Series

Is this normal behavior?

I know start valve light can take up to 15 seconds to go out but should the calls then be Series, Valve?

Note: i might have forgotten to turn of fuel enrichment before start(did not check), probably has something to do with that but you never know.

Thanks in advance!!
