The GE CF6-50E2 is purely mechanical. I'm with flyingspanner there. From what I remember the HMU and pump reqd. the fuel for lubrication purposes.
The motoring over after a hot start is the lesser of two evils, one bringing the EGT down to an acceptable level for a restart attempt, and two, a bit of premature wear to the mechanicals.
