Pete, I'm assuming it's hydraulic lock because the starter cranked the
prop around half a turn and then jerked abruptly to a stop. I
re-engaged the starter and it tried to turn the prop but wouldn't. I
waited a second and tried again and it turned the prop another half to
3/4's of a turn and jerked to a stop again.


A modern starter will fix that. I put on a Skytec about a year ago.
The thing spins MUCH faster and stronger.
