Airport; Procedure
Small airport with a horrible FBO. No line help or marshaling. Got distracted on the walk around by pulling chocks and passengers trying to find his ID. No GPU; so we were rushing to get the engines running to cool down the cabin with pax. Got everything running and programmed. Went to taxi out and realized that the nose gear pin was still disconnected. Shut down the left so FO can jump out and put it back in. We get the pin in; he sits down; start to taxi out again. 7 small aircraft in the traffic pattern and 4 on the taxiway around us; so both of our heads were outside watching for traffic. None of the checklists or flows; after start; have you look at the engines until you set takeoff power. So we accomplished the 'Before Takeoff' checklist; received a 'Takeoff OK'. Took the runway; held the breaks; go to set takeoff power and the left engine is still off. We quickly asked ATC for a short delay on the runway; started the left engine; and made sure everything was ready and all checklist were complete. We were able to depart without any issues. We noticed that the steering was not responsive. Got distracted on the walk around and when being rushed; the nose pin was missed. That led to shutting the left engine down. Shut down the left engine and sent the FO out to put the pin back in. Just need to slow down and pay attention better. And not having any line service made the situation more difficult and rushed. If we had a marshaler; they may have been able to bring our attention to the nose wheel not connected when they removed the chocks. But at the end of the day; it still was my responsibility to make sure it was in.
