4) Cowl flaps to 75%
5) Intercoolers to cold
6) Fuel to Rich
7) Unlock control column and rudder pedals, check freedom of controls
8) Check parking brake on
9) Extinguisher to Engine 3
10) Primer to Engine 3 - use 3 or 4 strokes depending on the outside temps
11) Engine 3 switch to start, count to twelve and then flick MESH
12) Check pressure and temps gauges
13) Switch on generator for Engine 3
14) Repeat for Engines 4, 2 and 1

I think I may have missed a step there, I usually use the checklist on my clipboard to make sure I do things in the right order and don't miss anything.
I also found this video a while ago, which I thought was pretty awesome:



EDIT: Ah, booster pumps, forgot those, wouldn't go very far without them.
LOL was about to say you wont be able to start the engines. Booster pump 3 needs to be turned on for the primer system to work
