What is a 'hot start'?
Being woken up with a nice hot cup of tea
being tipped in your crutch
I think, (and I stand to be corrected as I'm making this up) that a hot start is when the engine has been previously run up to temperature and not cooled down. So that as you prime the cylinders to start, some of the fuel being used to prime end up contacting the hot exhaust, causing the flames.
Thanks for posting Flashy, lovely pics and a good waste of my time ๐
Too many pumps of the Kigas primer. ๐
Mk.IX (could be a XVI, can't see the cowl through the flame) and a MK.I or Mk.II , then a Mk.XIX
You get flames on cold starts too.
lovely pics and a good waste of my time
