Yep ! Not sure if this is just a hot and high mod for us in SA but we have the line drawn on the throttle well before you get to the indent originally used for starting. If you try to start more closed than this line, then there's no fuel going in anyway so no choice on the machine I fly.
Incidentally how soon do you open the throttle after the 'light up' as the machine I fly seems to hang about 300 degrees anyway ? What is normal, at what point can you say that all is normal and start to open up or must if be continuous from light up ?
Another 120 cooked this weekend apparently because once the voltage drops below 15 V you can't activate the release to close the throttle and noone is going to be that quick on the fuel shut off...
