Working from memory now, as it's been a few years.

If fitted with electric fuel booster, put it on for the associated engine when ready to go, not before; otherwise F/O starts on the wobble pump as the cranking commences. Crank 9 blades with ignition OFF while giving it a shot ot two of prime, depending on how cold it is. Obviously cold = more prime than warm/hot. While continuing to crank, ignition ON, boost ON and more flicks of the primer until it catches, then mixture to auto-rich. If it stumbles after selecting auto-rich, a few more flicks of the primer.

But I will take advice from those more current.
