Default A hot start question

In a previous article, chris said:
Hot start on a fuel injected Lycoming commonly seems to call for
leaving the mixture at ICO and cranking. Bearing in mind the engine


That's how we start our Lance's IO-540 both hot and cold. Leave the
mixture, prop and throttle exactly where they were at shut down. If cold,
turn on the electric fuel pump and open the mixture for a few seconds to
get some fuel into the cylinders and then back to ICO. Crank, and as soon
as it catches, mixture to full rich until it stops sounding like it's only
running on a couple of cylinders, then lean.

O Canada, we stand ready to sit down and discuss our problems
in a civilized fashion for thee.
