I have an IO360 in my LNC2 and I have never had a
missed start using this method.
Mixture ICO
Throttle wide open
Crank
When she fires mixture is pushed in and throttle
retarded. Two handed boogie!
This fail safe method came to me courtesy of my AME
Chris Dakin here in Kingston, Canada
It seems all wrong but it works! I used to
fly a fuel injected Twin Comanche in Kenya and I never learned to get it going
consistently on a hot start. Isolated game park strips were not a good
place to have a flat battery! A pilot came through here in the summer in a
Twin Comanche and could not restart after fuelling. He came into the
hangar looking for help and was given the start procedure above. He argued
it would not work but finally took a chance on it. He went away a
believer.
