We had a particularly bad problem because our fuel pump is in direct 
contact with the case and no way to slip in a little insulation, so the 
fuel was cooking - in Arizona, yet.

Solution: 1. Always shut down with the fuel selector, not the mixture, to 
empty the lines.
2. With throttle and mixture closed tightly, run the boost pump until you 
get steady normal fuel pressure.
3. Mixture rich, turn on boost and simultaneously move throttle to full and 
back to off in about a three second movement and turn boost off.
4. With boost off and mixture closed, hit starter and move throttle slowly 
from idle to wide open if necessary, and as soon as engine fires, move 
throttle back with one hand and open mixture with as appropriate with the 
other hand.

With our engine, taxiing has to be done with mixture leaned way back, even 
at sea level, for smoothest running, then richened for runup.
