I am running a new IO360M1B for the first time. This is without the cowl on. It starts almost immediately when cold (a couple of blades) and primed with the fuel pump. After running for a few minutes, I stopped the engine (to make an adjustment) and then went to restart. The engine did not like to restart. It takes three or four times of 10 sec cranking to get it started and then only when the mixture is pulled halfway back. Previously with an injected engine which is cowled, I flood it and then start with the mixture full out and the throttle full in. Using this is usually for eliminating vapor in the fuel lines. Without the cowl on and after running only 2-3 minutes, I had not expected vapor to be an issue.
I am interested in what procedures people use for a warm restart and whether this should even be an issue without the cowl on.
