Hot start on a fuel injected Lycoming commonly seems to call for
leaving the mixture at ICO and cranking. Bearing in mind the engine
stopped because the mixture was set to ICO, and if you're then not
moving the mixture before cranking, how does the engine then fire??
What's in there for it to fire??? Shouldn't the same lack of fuel
that caused it to stop also prevent it from starting again??


In my experience, the six cylinder Lycs are bitchier during hot starts
than the fours. The only Conti experience I have is with the Baron and
those engines seemed easier to start hot than Lycs.
