I rent from a Cessna dealer FBO at VNY. The procedure there is:

Throttle - open 1/4 inch
Mixture - Idle Cutoff
Propeller area - Clear
Master Switch - ON
Beacon - ON
Aux Fuel Pump - ON
Mixture - Advance full - 2 to 3 seconds, then return to Idle Cutoff
Aux Fuel Pump - OFF
Ignition - START
Mixture - Advance full, when engine fires

Works every time for me.


I take it from the procedure the new 172s are fuel injected?
