I used to set the throttle wide open, as a number
of other listers wrote, for a hot start.
Some years ago, someone on the LML suggested a
better or at least more conservative way.
If you set the throttle only partially open - say
one quarter travel - the air supply is far greater than the engine needs for
cranking or idle. There is no advantage to going all the way wide
open.
The disadvantage of using full open throttle
becomes apparent if you fumble the controls at all.
Maybe the start button should be foot operated so
we can keep one hand on the throttle and the other on the mixture.....;
