 As the engine starts, move the mixture control to RUN (AUTO RICH on earlier aircraft). If the
engine fails to take hold after several revolutions, give it one second’s more prime.
If the engine cuts out after starting, return the mixture control immediately to IDLE CUT-
OFF.
 Check that oil pressure reaches at least 50 PSI within 30 seconds. If it doesn’t, stop the engine.
 Idle at about 1200-1300 RPM until the oil temperature reaches 40°C and the oil pressure is
steady.
 Check the suction gauge to show between 3.75 to 4.25” of vacuum.
 Check all the engine instruments. Make sure they don’t exceed or fall below their limits.
 After the engine is warmed up, idle at 1000 RPM or slightly less. This keeps the engine clean but
not too hot.
