Most 1830's are real easy to start if they are still warm after a shut down.
Before cranking starter turn mags on, Auto Rich, throttle cracked, fuel pump on and engage starter....the engine will just fire right up.
If the engine does not start in the first few blades it is flooded.......mixture idle cut off and throttle full open..engage starter when engine fires close throttle to idle setting....
The 1830 is a marvel but the Wright 1820 is a different animal all together.
