Default RE: starting with the choke on?

ORIGINAL: ram3500-RCU

OK, nothing fancy here. Works every time, on every gas engine I have and I have a CRRC and a Thor among others (I don't fly DA and I've been told they don't like to be wet like other engine do).

1. switch on
2.choke on full
3.throttle full on
4.pull through compression till it starts then dies
5.choke off
6.throttle set to idle
7.3 or 4 props and it will be running

let it warm up then check transition and go fly

Exact same method I use.. works like a charm. I don't think it gets anymore rpm than if you did it at half throttle or whatever.. it only stays running for a couple turns and dies.
