For those flying with the IO-540 and who have a good deal of
experience with hot starts.
Hot starts are defined as 80+F on the ramp, and trying to start from
10 - 30 minutes after landing with engine at normal operating temps.
I've been using Tim's method, but not always successful in 1) getting
it running and then 2) keeping it running.
Yesterday, once I did get it running, it was surging badly and turning
the boost pump on seemed to settle it out.
If you have a tried and true technique on getting it started when it's
hot, please share.
Thanks - grumpy

I don't know about the IO540, but suspect it is like the IO360 I now
fly. Any start other than 1st start of the day or when plane has sat
long enough for engine to get back to cool to touch crankcase is a hot
start.
I just leave mixture at cutoff, use maybe 1/8 to 1/4" throttle, start
cranking and after 4 blades slowly add mixture until it catches. Works
99.94% of time.

Here is what works for me..... 90% of the time:
First, make sure you either have an impulse coupler on the mag or a
"Shower of Sparks". Rebuilt engines, may not have a mag with an
impulse coupler.
With mixture full rich, run the fuel pump for couple of seconds.
Push the throttle forward passed 1/2 way point, mixture lean, then
crank. At this point, my engine coughs, runs a few blades and dies.
I repeat the same procedure again and it fires up.
If it does not cough on the first try, it is a sign for me that the
engine has cooled sufficient enough that I need to do the above
procedure with the mixture rich. In which case, the engine does not
cough but fires right up.
I am sure there are as many hot start procedures s there are IO-540.
Find what works for your engine.

I use this procedure unless the CHTs are ambient.
This always works for me. For hot starts we pretend it's a turbine. Throttle
cracked, mixture idle cutoff. Run boost pump with mixture in cutoff for a
few seconds. Ignition on for the starting magneto and crank. Smoothly move
the mixture from idle cutoff to rich as the engine fires. Second magneto on
then boost pump to prevent any surging. Flooded start same procedure but
throttle full open. As it fires, second magneto on and retard throttle
quickly. Boost pump on to prevent surging.

I would not say that I have a lot of experience....but I will throw my 2
cents in.....
Two weekends ago I flew 8 young eagle flights in a row. Air temp, right at
80. So I had a lot of hot starts. Here is the method and it was not all
that great, but it did start the engine.
No Priming......
Throttle 1/2 inch
Mixture full lean
Crank the engine until it fires at least a little
Mixture rich
Advance throttle
If it is running.....big if....Advance the throttle to 1800 RPM or full if
it does not get to 1800 RPM
Run engine at high RPM for 20-30 seconds.
Turning on the pump did not help.

That's the method I use, basically. I'd say I've been 99.5%
successful with it. I can maybe remember 5 starts in 495
hours that didn't go too well...and that was usually either
because I didn't richen it quick enough to keep it running,
or I flooded it after not richening it enough, by using the
pump.
I think it would work good for most people, as it's a common
method used on many lycomings in many makes and models, but,
I can only say for sure that it works well for me with:
IO-540
Lightspeed on Right side (top plugs)
Mag with impulse coupling on Left side
Precision Fuel Injection System
I personally think the lightspeed is probably what makes
this plane start so well compared to any other plane I've
flown. I don't ususally get many blades passing by before
it's purring right along.

You are so correct, it will depend on fuel injection and ignition
setup. Airflow Performance or others with purge valve will be
different.
Precision injection does not need any priming, although it may help to
bump the boost pump to have pressure a second or two quicker than
enginge pump will provide it. Shower of sparks or equivalent with turn
or push to start ignition switch should have non-retard mag grounded
when start is activated.
I don't find the boost makes any difference with my Mooney's IO-360
for anything but cold starts where plenty of priming is needed.

My technique is similar to these. I'm really happy with how well it works. I've definitely been in hot-start hell with other planes.
I use this for hot or cold starts. It works fine for both. I usually have to crank a wee bit longer when it's hot.
Throttle full
Mixture rich
Boost on until PSI peaks, usually about 5 seconds
Mixture lean
Throttle open about 1/4 inch
Left mag on (SlickStart w/ retard points)
crank, then mixture s-l-o-w-l-y to full rich when it fires
right mag on
Works like a charm.

Jim,
Next time try the exact same procedure but with the fuel pump on and see if it works better for you. To be clear…
- Fuel Pump - OFF (No Prime)
- Throttle - Wide Open
- Mixture – Cutoff
- Fuel Pump - On
- Crank till it fires
- Mixture - Ease it in (Too fast will flood it (Again!))
- Throttle - Close to high idle

One thing I could add to the hot start commentary is that while
I do find hot starts to be no problem at all for me, the
engine does not run as smooth during taxi on a hot start.
I attribute this to vapor in the lines that builds up, but
I can't guarantee that I'm correct. All I know is that
as I taxi, it burbles more than cold. Once you pour the
coals on though, you have so much fuel flow I think the
added cool fuel flowing probably decreases the temps and
the vapor disappears, because it never affects my power
at higher throttle.....just leaned idle.

I just went through this with Don Rivera (at) Airflow Performance, and the
roughness/surging during taxi with a hot engine is caused by the engine
heating/vaporizing the fuel in the distribution lines from the spider to
the cylinders. If you've got a plenum it also exacerbates the problem
for obvious reasons. Depending on fuel flows (at) Take Off there is a
possibility of going to smaller nozzles which increases the psi in the
lines. insulating them only makes it worse according to Don, as it takes
longer for the lines to cool.

I agree with Tim. I taxi at 1400 after a hot start or else the engine may
not even keep running. After several minutes it gets better.
Also, over the winter I worked on oil temp and baffling. I am not committed
to saying I fixed my high oil temp problem, it has been to cool here so far
this year, but it is looking like I did. So, although I am not convinced
yet, my engine runs better after a hot start than it did last year. I will
wait until the temps get up into the high 90s on the ground before I declare
victory........
I did fly out of Vegas in May, it was in the 80's and I did not get a
cylinder head temp warning or an oil temp warning....last year I got
both......it was an almost straight climb to 14,500 this year.......I
normally climb at between 110 and 120 indicated......

Do you lean aggressively after start? I taxi with 1000-1200 no problem.
Engine will quit with too much fuel or too little for the amount of air.

Also what is the value of your temp warning? 350f? 400f? 450f? For me
250-360f is green range; 361-420f yellow range; 421+ red range. Lycoming
temp limits are higher. We initially had yellow temp conditions until we cut
down the air dams and then removed them completely, located AZ.

Yes I lean aggressively, being at ~4500 feet I need to or the plugs will
foul. I only have to pick up the RPMs after a hot start.....it is
embarrassing to have the engine stop while you are on the taxi
way.....passengers get concerned also. After a cold (regular) start I keep
it at 1000 rpm.

For the CHT I have it set (warning) at 420. Last year I ran 380 to 400 in
cruse climb and 380 in low level cruse. I have not seen 400 yet this year,
and cruse is closer to 350 on low level cruse.
I cut my fences down a little, but they are still there....

Well I tried the fuel pump on and off just after the start but could not really tell a difference. Like Tim, I noticed a little roughness on the taxi to the runway. But it always cleared up after a minute or so of running. I do lean aggressively once the engine is running for taxi.It's for sure a little hard to start once it gets warmed up. Only once have I had to crank twice to get a running engine (I jumped on the mixture too soon).But that day I did a lot of starts in a short period of time (10 starts in 4 hours). Burned 20 gallons that day flying the young eagles. It was fun.Jim CN312F----------------------------------------Jim, Next time try the exact same procedure but with the fuelpump on and see if it works better for you. To be clear...- Fuel Pump - OFF (No Prime)- Throttle - Wide Open- Mixture - Cutoff- Fuel Pump - On- Crank till it fires- Mixture - Ease it in (Too fast will flood it (Again!))- Throttle - Close to high idleRobinFrom: owner-rv10-list-server(at)matronics.com[mailto:owner-rv10-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf Of SusanSent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 7:19 AMTo: rv10-list(at)matronics.comSubject: Re: hot startsI had 10 young eagle flights two weeks ago, on a 75 Deg F day- Fuel Pump - OFF (No Prime)- Throttle - Wide Open- Mixture - Cutoff- Crank till it fires- Mixture - Ease it in (Too fast will flood it (Again!))- Throttle - Close to high idleWorked for me - But not a real pretty start, but got the fan runningJim CN312F - 75 hoursChecked by AVG - www.avg.com06/15/09 05:54:00 [quote][b]

I find that leaning the engine for taxi will minimize the rough running, especially when hot...
