Thanks Richo (and others) that information is invaluable and in-depth engine characteristics should be taught up to CPL.

POH- On closer inspection there is a note that says:

"If the engine is hot, place mixture control in IDLE CUT-OFF, switch auxiliary fuel pump to ON for 30 to 60 seconds, then OFF. Return mixture to full rich and continue with cold start procedure."

Might pay to read the notes in future

Being an (almost) newbie CPL these sorts of "informative posts" are invaluable to me as I am sure there are heaps of Ppruners out there that have a heap of this knowledge stored up. In particular the characteristics and facts that go beyond the POH wording.

Keep the discussion going!

Cheers
