I use a 50 year plus method also. Front engine first, battery cable length shorter. I put the mixture and the throttle full forward for a COLD start. I hit the boost pump for a count of 4 to 5. I reduce the throttle to full idle. Hit the starter, engine fires on a few cylinders first allowing the non oiled innards to get some oil. When the oil pressure comes up I increase to 1000 RPM. On a WARM start I do mixture forward, throttle idle. I hit the boost pump for 2-3 count and hit the starter. Starts right up. After both starts I lean the mixture until the engine runs smooth. I do my run up with the lean mixture, only advancing the mixture for takeoff. My plugs last a long time, never fouls and very little carbon when I clean them. When I FLOOD the engine I put the mixture in idle cutoff and the throttle full and crank until it catches. Then mixture first to full forward, followed by throttle idle. QUICKLY This technique doesn't address the lack of oil but if the engine is warm there is enough oil to prevent damage anyway.
