Default Hard Starting Cold Continental Engines

You just need to figure out how much fuel your particular pair of
engines need to start with varying OAT's

TC makes a very important point that is often overlooked when training
pilots. I usually start by asking a student what they think happens with
the density altitude is when it's cold, then I ask them what that does to
their fuel/air mixture. Next question is, if you've got more air, don't you
need more fuel? It's amazing how many show surprise. Same theory, opposite
actions for hot temps and hot starts.
