Erich,
Both of my fuel pumps are switchable.
* Fuel pumps - 'OFF'.
* Choke 'Fully In'. ( that is no choke)
* Throttle set just very slightly open. (approx 2500-3000 rpm)
I think that the starting problem when the 914 is warm/hot is one of
over-fuelling. I have also found that with a warm engine, after starting
using the above technique, putting the fuel pump on immediately can make the
engine die. It seems to need time to settle down before giving it full fuel
pressure.
Of course, it could be that this method of starting is specific to my
engine - for some reason.
regards,
Mike (G-JULZ)
