Thanks. Good to know.This is not actually true anymore, at least on the IO-360 used in Cessna 172s from serial number 9491. They added a loop back to the fuel reservoir specifically to help with hot starts.

Exactly this!Lycoming is really easy: Attempt the POH hot start checklist twice, then proceed to the POH flooded start checklist.
BTW, the Skylane made a change as well. The 182T describes the return line but in the 182S, fuel is a one-way trip from tanks to engine.This is not actually true anymore, at least on the IO-360 used in Cessna 172s from serial number 9491.
