Here's my procedure and it works in 99% of my tries:

- Fuel switch on Primary
- Magneto 1 and 2 On
- Mixture Rich (= lever all the way BACK in the cockpit)
- Prop Pitch High
- Handpump 5x
- Press and Hold(!) "I" until the engine is running

Once it is started up, you want to hold -1 to +1 Boost to bring up the temperatures.

I have my rads closed until the temperature is high enough (~40 on the oil and ~60 on the water) and then open them before rolling.

Hope that helps!
