Fuel injected starts - when hot...........................

I have a method that works for me that I use to this day: -

when I built an aeroplane with a manual fuel pressurisation pump, I opted for a purge valve on the engine driven mechical pump to allow me to evacuate hot/vapourised fuel before it reached the fuel flow controller (spider) - I used it twice in 250 hrs, once to test its efficacy!

Pitts 2112 - if you want a realy in depth, boring discussion - buy me a beer! ISTR that your kite starts quite well if swung by a Norfolk farmer!
