Hello all.
I’m looking for advice please.
I must admit I’m having a bit of a nightmare starting the 172, but I have succeeded once or twice. Something that ive noticed, though, if I mis -start I seem completely unable to start the engine again afterward. To take the last occasion for instance. I reinstalled because it seemed to me that I must have badly installed such was the difficulty I was having in starting the plane and controlling flight model after auto-start. Anyway, I reinstalled and sure enough I went through the procedures that I’d read over and over again, and the plane started first turn of the key. The problem was that such was my elation that I forgot to push the fuel knob forward and the engine spluttered to a halt. ARSE!!! Oh well, no probs, it started ok so just have to go through the normal procedures and ....we’ll, no actually. Once again it seemed like nothing I could do would turn the engine and cough to life. So all this is to ask for some advise, canyons please give me some idea of the best way of going about trying to start up after a mistart.
Thanks all
Neil.
Starting 172 after mis-start?
Re: Starting 172 after mis-start?
Try opening the throttle more.

Thank you for the reply. I wondered about that, opinion seems to be divided.
Re: Starting 172 after mis-start?
After such a start, you will have to prime again becouse the engine was starved of fuel, it burned or went overboard, reprime and as said earlier, open the throttle more.
Re: Starting 172 after mis-start?
If engine is flooded then cut off mixture and full throttle and crank. Once it starts back off throttle and apply mixture. It can be a bit tricky until you get the hang of it.
