Last time (til today), I was unable to fly for 2 months, 3 days, due to a doozy of a cold. So of course I started worrying about oil film slipping off my pistons and cylinders. Finally got out today, hit the boost pump, but forgot to first crack the throttle and run the mixture rich. 10, maybe 12 blades went by,--- nuttin.
So after cracking the throttle and running the mixture rich, and another short boost pump, it started fine. Now I'm not a mechanic, nor am I a builder,---did I do any scoring to my pistons or cylinder walls?? Maybe 2 months 3 days is nothing to worry about---I dunno.
Oh, and I forgot to add, its an ECI IO 360
