In-Reply-To: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit By installing a purge valve, hot starting a TSIO 550 after 30 min. is a big pain in the ....neck (keeping it nice lol) Another way is to 'try' to cool and flush out the fumes by using the Boost pump with the Throttle WOT and the Mixture closed for at least 40 seconds (this helped me with my TSIO 550 I had in the Velocity), after that start as usually but have your boost pump on low and if that does not work, take a break and do not start until your batteries are depleted LOL (I want to have the purge valve installed in my next plane ;) Good luck -- Ronald On 6/7/11 2:18 PM, "John Hafen" wrote: >Gents: > >What have you found to be the best hot start procedure for a TSIO 550, >with mags, in an IVP?
