Aah is that what it is? are you sure? I never use handpump in spit.

just like directions above throttle at 10 percent, mixture auto-rich ie. lever forward.
prop pitch to fine, offcourse the magneto's on and fuelcock to main. actually you should start in reserve it seems but if you go past off to get back to "main" the engine quits so i leave it at main.

I used to have radiator closed to warm engine faster but now I leave rad open and warm engine with playing with rpm. warms up fast enough it seems.

I don't know if this is in the new patch but be sure when you are doing airstart that you open the radiator. this was in previous version not default.

Also in realism options leave limited fuel enabled. or else you won't be able to manipulate the fuel cock and hence you cannot take off.
