Guy,

Last summer I had a couple hot start disasters and I asked the same question on the list. You should find a lot in the archive.

At that time I made a little summary to take in the plane and try. Option 5 turned out to be my favorite and has worked out really good for me.

Option 5 (works best for my engine)

·         Mixture cut off, throttle closed, high boost for 30 sec.

·         Fuel pump on low boost

·         Throttle normal idle, mixture cut off

·         Start cranking with on hand while VERY SLOWLY richening the mixture with other hand

·         Engine starts at ideal mixture for existing conditions – stop cranking

·         Continue richening as idle speed increases to normal idle speed – not richer until you are ready to increase throttle
