REFLECTOR: Hot Start Techniques IO-550N

[Scott Derrick]

I've done about 8 hot starts with Bill's suggested technique and  they 
all have been successful.

Just yesterday I did 3 hot starts on a quick round trip from KGNT to 
KALS.  All three starts when the engine was completely warmed up, 
stopped for less than 20 minutes.

Great method...

Scott
