No fuel flow and engine start issue

Hello
I am trying to make my 58D compatible with MSFS2024 and I am stuck on issue with Fuel system and engine startup.

First issue is that the starter no longer works as fuel is no longer provided and user can’t proceed with engine startup.
Second issue is when the aircraft is started with CTRL+E or the flight starts with engine ON, the fuel flow is 0. Despite that, aircraft CAN be started with CTRL+E.

This is my fuel line configuration:

Version = 5
Engine.1 = Name:Engine#Title:""#Index:1
Tank.1 = Name:MainTank#Title:MainTank#Capacity:70#UnusableCapacity:0#PressureCurve:1#Position:-1.525288,-0.000018,-0.614491#OutputOnlyLines:TankToPump#Priority:1
Valve.1 = Name:Fuel_Valve#Title:Fuel_Valve#DestinationLine:ValveToEngine#OpeningTime:0.5#Circuit:1
Pump.1 = Name:Fuel_Pump#Title:Fuel_Pump#Pressure:19#TankFuelRequired:MainTank#DestinationLine:PumpToValve#Type:Electric#Index:1
Line.1 = Name:TankToPump#Title:TankToPump#Source:MainTank#Destination:Fuel_Pump#FuelFlowAt1psi:0.1
Line.2 = Name:PumpToValve#Title:PumpToValve#Source:Fuel_Pump#Destination:Fuel_Valve#FuelFlowAt1psi:0.1
Line.3 = Name:ValveToEngine#Title:ValveToEngine#Source:Fuel_Valve#Destination:Engine#FuelFlowAt1psi:0.1

This is my starter template:

<Component ID="Starter_Button" Node="Switch_Starter">
				<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Switch_Code">
					<TOOLTIPID>Engine starter</TOOLTIPID>
					<ANIM_NAME>Switch_Starter</ANIM_NAME>
					<LEFT_SINGLE_CODE>(A:GENERAL ENG STARTER ACTIVE:1,bool) if{ 0 (&gt;K:STARTER1_SET) } els{ 1 (&gt;K:STARTER1_SET) }</LEFT_SINGLE_CODE>
					<ANIM_CODE>(A:GENERAL ENG STARTER ACTIVE:1,bool)</ANIM_CODE>
					<ANIM_LENGTH>1</ANIM_LENGTH>
					<ANIM_LAG>20</ANIM_LAG>
					<WWISE_EVENT_1>generic_switch_on</WWISE_EVENT_1>
					<WWISE_EVENT_2>generic_switch_off</WWISE_EVENT_2>
				</UseTemplate>
			</Component>

What could I do to make it compatible with 2024?
Cheers

This is the debug screenshot from MS2024:

Off the top, the circuit is red. maybe check your electrical settings

I actually tried F18 for example and Fuel use per hour is 0 as well.
Is it broken in FS2024?

ok so i made a basic electrical, and used your fuel system and made some changes to it (added a couple curve definitions, manually put volume in the lines rather then allowing it to default, and also removed the title:" ") and it netted me this result (ignore the fuel burn, this system got slapped in a non helicopter project to test and help so it doesnt have the same engine.cfg you have, which means overall pressure and burn will change to what you have it too etc)

here is the edited fuel_system (ps youll need to edit in the fuel system, what circuit you have your fuel valve on. in my mockup i placed it on circuit 23)

[FUEL]

fuel_type = 2

[FUEL_SYSTEM]

Version = 5

Engine.1 = Name:Engine#Index:1

Tank.1 = Name:MainTank#Title:MainTank#Capacity:70#UnusableCapacity:0#PressureCurve:1#Position:-1.525288,-0.000018,-0.614491#OutputOnlyLines:TankToPump#Priority:1

Valve.1 = Name:Fuel_Valve#Title:Fuel_Valve#DestinationLine:ValveToEngine#OpeningTime:0.5#Circuit:23

Pump.1 = Name:Fuel_Pump#Title:Fuel_Pump#Pressure:19#TankFuelRequired:MainTank#DestinationLine:PumpToValve#Type:Electric#Index:1

Line.1 = Name:TankToPump#Title:TankToPump#Source:MainTank#Destination:Fuel_Pump#FuelFlowAt1psi:1.0#Volume:0.24

Line.2 = Name:PumpToValve#Title:PumpToValve#Source:Fuel_Pump#Destination:Fuel_Valve#FuelFlowAt1psi:1.0#Volume:0.24

Line.3 = Name:ValveToEngine#Title:ValveToEngine#Source:Fuel_Valve#Destination:Engine#FuelFlowAt1psi:1.0#Volume:0.24

Curve.1 = 0:0, 0.25:0.83, 0.5:0.87, 0.75:0.92, 0.9:0.96, 1.0:1.0

Curve.2 = 0:0, 1.0:20.0

so its more then likely what @DA40CGDFQ said,triple check your electrical is good etc!

Yes I had issue within electrical system.
Thank you for very quick help!
