why kickback afflicts cold engines?

    One very small point - Once Bost fuel pump has reached its steady/max pressure, there is no point in letting it continue to run, when doing a cold start. 

    Do your pre start Boost On - Usual Pressure - Boost off. This will prime the system and remove any bubbles that may be lurking.

    It may only be a small current draw, but why add to the starting load?
