Hot Start procedure

[Schooner69]

Thanks. But, the engine manual indicates no prime for a hot start.

Mine will initially kick off but will not continue. Usually have to give it some fuel.

I shall try the throttle slowly open trick...

Refilling this volume is what the 1 sec (or less) boost pump on-time is for.

Thanks for the idea. I added this to my routine, as it was so logical.

Throttle for 1000 RPM (~1/4"). Mixture rich. Boost pump for 1 second or so (you can actually hear the back pressure build as the fluid has filled the lines). Mixture ICO. Crank. Mixture rich once it catches. Works perfectly.
