Simon,
        Assuming the hot engine was cut off with mixture and throttle off,
then try this method.

Do not boost
Leave throttle completely closed. Move prior to engine firing
Mixture at idle cutoff.
Begin cranking
Slowly move mixture towards rich.
When engine fires, move mixture to rich and slightly advance throttle, if
needed to idle.

If this fails, then do flooded start.
OPen throttle and mixture and boost for 5-10 sec.
Throttle full open
Mixture at idle cutoff
Start cranking
Slowly move throttle towards idle. This controls air reaching cylinders and
at some point the correct mixture will occur and engine should fire.
If and when engine stumbles, move mixture to rich
Close throttle as needed to idle.

Hope this helps
Tom
