	Hi, I love the 707, and have enjoyed it greatly for three flights. Of the three, the last two have featured engine failures on #1 and #4, that, for the life of me, I can't figure out what prompted them--as all indications were "in the green". Is there a way to turn off "random" engine failures? If I'm doing something to trigger these engine outs (plenty of fuel, no fires), where can I study up on the "triggers"? Thanks Bill KGYH

	Do you have the Manifold Valve Switches open? �707 Captain� FLIGHT MANUAL Part II � Aircraft and Systems, W01, page 84: 42-45. manifold valve switches Controls manifold valve. -When turned horizontally, valve closes. -When turned vertically, valve opens. If they are closed when a tank(s) run out of fuel, the fuel will not pass on to other �engines. AND make sure you turn the Fuel Boost Pump Switches OFF when a tank they are linked to runs out of fuel. Hope this helps. Mark

	Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply...I'll try to replicate the issue, then try again w/manifold switched properly set...I'll bet you are right. Sorry....though I had it set, but I do recall that those switches were indeed "horizontal".... As usual, pilot error rather than equipment malfunction Bill
