Hi

No desire to start an argument as I agree with most of your advice on this but fundamentally disagree on one stage in your procedure. Perhaps you can explain your logic for step 2:

* Arrive at the end of the straight
* Shut the throttle (lift off)
* Put your hand over the intake
* Press FULL throttle..... (you'll feel the 'suck'!)
* Release the throttle
* remove your hand!
* RE-APPLY THE THROTTLE!

In my view shutting the throttle BEFORE choking is likely to provoke a seize as, as you say, this cuts off the flow of fuel and oil to the engine at exactly the point where it is maximum need of lubrication.

I think a procedure of:

* Arrive at the end of the straight at full throttle
* Put your hand over the intake
* Release the throttle
* remove your hand!
* RE-APPLY THE THROTTLE!

makes far more sense.

...however I am always willing to learn
