Does a piston engine have a choke for a cold start? Or is there another arrangement like the fifth injector on my car?
In the Skyraiders case, No and no. Engine is started on primer (a button you press, located right side of cockpit next to the starter switch) with mixture lever (left side of cockpit) in idle cut off, once running on primer mixture is moved to rich and primer button released.
