I have a Lycoming I0-360 injected engine fitted on my aircraft.
I start it with the mixture fully lean and the throttle open only about eigtht of an inch, as soon as it fires up I open the mixture to rich and I don't have starting problems (touch wood).
Question is why this is the technique on an injected engine when a normally aspirated engine would be started with mixture rich?
Not a catch question, I am not an engine mechanic and I can't find anything on the Lycoming website so assumed some of you clever guys can enlighten me
