I would think that during starting, the rpm is well below prop governing
range.. and it would have no effect.. I have never heard of this procedure.

Gang,

A friend has heard that pulling the prop control out to make coarse
pitch aids starting (when the engine has had trouble starting).

Has anyone ever heard of this technique?
