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?

Even if the prop did change pitch, it would do any good. All that would happen
is that there would be more prop drag while the engine is trying to start.
