If the Warrior is carburated (as most were) it will not benefit from a "hot
start fuel injected procedure." The reason the Warrior started is due to the
accelerator pump pumping a small amount of fuel into the induction when the
throttle was advanced. Only move the throttle on a carburated engine when the
crank is turning to prevent the aircraft from buring to the ground.
