 |
|
Folks,
My list of things to do before engine start is getting small and I think it is time to consider letting the dragon breathe some fire.....
I have an Aerosport Power IO360B1F6 (AFP injection, LASAR mags) with a MT three blade prop.
I have the Lycoming manual page for their cold engine start procedures and I have incorporated that in to my engine cold start checklist:
Alt air - off
Prop - high RPM
Fuel valve - select tank
Purge valve - run
Master - on
Fuel boost pump - on
Throttle - full open
Mixture - rich until fuel flow is noted on guage
Throttle - Idle
Mixture - lean
Fuel boost pump - off
Throttle to 1/4
Clear prop
Ignition switch - START
Mixture - to rich smoothly while cranking
Ignition switch - both when engine fires
Have any of you found that you need to deviate from these instructions in order to get consistent starts?
Thanks for any input,
Ralph
