IO-540 Hot Start Procedure

[Ed T]

Have not had much luck hot starting the AEIO-540 in Pitts S-2B. There has been much written on this subject, but I'd like to hear from other S-2B owners. Does anybody have a procedure that lets them get this motor started reliably when hot? The wide open throttle procedure is too thrilling, and besides I don't have a spare hand to keep the stick back when I'm solo. Any advice or link to a good thread would really be appreciated. Thanks--Ed
