Does anyone have any guidance on high density altitude starting? The last two trips I had difficulty starting. I have an RV-14A/IO-390 and after a few hours I came back to the plane and had trouble starting. I am starting on right ignition (electronic ignition) and left mag off, lean, and throttle at high idle. I think I am advancing the mixture forward to rich too soon. The density alt was 7,100. Any thoughts? It took a while but finally got it started. Not sure what I did right or wrong but suspect I was moving the mixture too far forward to rich when it began to start.
