As Tinstaafl said, injected lycomings are generally started in the lean posy, continentals the opposite.

IO540 As for starting a hot lycoming, is that what it reallys says, use full throttle? I operate a TIO-540 and when I hot start it, I give a pump on the throttle (or 1 sec on prime) crack the throttle, mixture ICO, crank, Mixture full rich as it fires, works a treat everytime!

But every engine does have its own Idiosyncrasies!! What ever works best for you eh!
