Alright, need a confirmation on kicking a hot 93 DR350 with a pumper carb...

It fires on first kick cold. I spent 10 minutes hot kicking until I reverse-engineered the hot start process. I need a verification or if there is an easier way...

Cold Start

1. If temperature is below 50F, pull the choke.
2. Rotate the motor using kick-start until you locate TDC.
3. Press and release the de-compress lever.
4. Release kick-start.
5. KICK!.
6. WROOM, WROOM!
7. Slowly push the choke, until engine within operational temperature.

HOT Start

1. Rotate the motor using kick-start until you locate TDC.
2. Press and release the de-compress lever.
3. Release kick-start.
4. Partially crack open the throttle -- 1/6th of a turn. Hold open.
5. KICK!
6. WROOM, WROOM!
7. Release the throttle.

This worked for me, and I was able to kick start it with 1 kick every time. What is your hot-start secret?
