> HOT START PROCEDURE:
>
> NO ATTEMPTS at clearing vapor-locked engine with any fuel pump/mixture settings or run times. Boost pump off.
>
> All engine controls firewalled:     Throttle, Prop, Mixture
>
> 		BE READY ON THROTTLE TO RETARD UPON ENGINE COUGH/ATTEMPTED START!!!
>
> Engage starter, wait for coughing or rich-sounding attempted start - smoothly retard throttle toward idle as engine catches.
