Starting after refueling is the biggest challenge as far as warm starts for my engine. And this time I had the dreaded 'onlookers' (two guys in a Champ) and didn't want to sit t here propping and flooding while they chuckled under their breath. Everyth ing went perfectly, thanks to the tip from Walt, Ben, and others about open ing the throttle to get the carb off the idle circuit as the mags are shut off as I shut down at the fuel pump. Started on the second or third blade. Got the technique down now! Part of the reason for making the flight was to warm the engine up so I cou ld change the oil, too. I used a little siphon pump that came from Auto Zo ne and it works great. Much less hassle than removing the cowlings and pul ling the oil sump drain, or even using a quick-drain fitting on the sump. Just stick the end of one tube down the filler neck into the sump and the o ther into the waste oil container and start pumping. Pretty amazing how bl ack that oil gets in 25 hrs. of operation, too.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXm ailto: taildrags@hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:10:52 AM PST US From: "walt evans" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: starting the warm A65 Oscar, Great, glad it worked.
