No boost pump or excess throttle needed on hot start. I think that's been my hot start problem on my rv7 io360 Lycoming. Best hot start tutorial.

Great video, very informative! I just purchased a 1985 Mooney M20J and absolutely love it. When I first got it, I was having trouble starting it and had to give it a few attempts. I finally figured out to leave a little power and before I enriched the fuel. Now, I started a KZfaq channel where I fly my Mooney cross-country to repossess vehicles.

Thanks for doing this video. Two days ago I sat at a fuel pump for almost an hour after missing a hot start on a new to me airplane with an IO-540. Yesterday I tried this after finding your video and it started as you say "Like a car." I hope this continues to work for me on the hottest summer days as well. Thanks again!

:-O That's fascinating. I'm going to have to watch this a few more times, then try that out in my plane. Thanks very much for doing this, Don!

I've used this technique on a range of engines for hot start. Seems to work well on them all.

Does this also work for a fuel injected continental engine as well?

I've started lots of mooneys and this may work fine for an engine that was turned off for 15 minutes , but let it sit for an hour and this will never, ever work. I'm speaking from 3000 hours as a pilot and mechanic in a 201. hot engine start. throttle full forw, mixture full forward, prime for 5 sec. that clears out lines with fuel. then mixture back to cutoff, leave throttle full forward and start. when engine starts, mixture forward and bring back throtte to idle. this is a flooded engine start. What Don is doing, I can restart an engine easily multiple times like this. no magic here. If you have a 6 cylinder, don't follow dons procedure either. use the poh procedures for continental 6's

New 201 owner here. I'm not totally familiar with what constitutes a hot start. Is an engine that's been sitting for an hour considered to be in a hot start condition? I was thinking it was more like within 20 or 30 minutes max.

My experience is the same as yours. A restart within 15-20 isn’t really a hot start. Every engine, …. EVERY engine (don’t care what the POH says) will hot start differently, there doesn’t seem to be a magical “1 size fits all” hot start procedure. Find the technique that works best for you. That’s the benefit of the prime/‘throttle full open’ technique. The engine will crank and when the fuel/air mixture hits the right point the engine will fire.

I fly my E model frequently and let it sit for over an hour while I eat breakfast and use the same process that is in the video. Its works everytime.

do you know how many people I hear yell clear prop.. then immediately start the engine. No one leaves people a chance to get out of the way. Should they be lurking around underneath the single engine plane.... Sometimes i think its silly to yell it.

Don is at his own maintenance hangar at his shop in Longview. No neophytes running around there unaware of their surroundings. Great video and very educational.
