Engage until engine starts
Do not engage the starter
longer than 30 seconds as it
may overheat. If starter has
been engaged for extended
period, allow to cool for 3
minutes.
Immediately release the
starter upon initial firing, and
do not re-engage until the
prop is completely stopped.
If the propeller does not
immediately turn upon
engaging the starter, the
aircraft is U/S.
The engine will start at very
high RPM. Smoothly retard
throttle to set approximately
1000 RPM.
Slowly advance to FULL
RICH
If no indication within 30 sec,
shutdown immediately.
Figure 2-8 Flooded Engine Start
There is an elevated risk of a fire when conducting a flooded engine
start. Fuel leaking onto the ground can catch fire, or fuel in the
exhaust system can “torch” resulting in aircraft damage.
