METHOD FOR STARTING A COMBUSTION ENGINE OPERATED WITH A FUEL AIR MIXTURE

Method for starting an internal combustion engine (1) operated with a fuel-air mixture, in particular a stationary gas engine, wherein a fuel volume flow (Q B ) is supplied to the internal combustion engine (1) as part of the fuel-air mixture, which is determined taking into account at least one parameter characteristic of the energy content of the fuel-air mixture, wherein the internal combustion engine (1) is driven by a starting device (2) until the internal combustion engine (1) runs automatically, wherein the fuel volume flow (Q B ) supplied to the internal combustion engine (1) is changed by varying the at least one parameter characteristic of the energy content of the fuel-air mixture until the internal combustion engine (1) runs automatically.
