G.R. Patterson III wrote: You're hitting the primer before cranking? That loads the induction system with raw gas, basically flooding the engine. When you wait a bit, some of that gas vaporizes and the engine starts more easily. I noticed that some time after I got my Comanche I had trouble starting it. I finally realized that I had just gotten too fast at the start procedure after doing it so many times. In particular the IO-540 seems to benefit from at least a 2-3 second count with the fuel pump on after you go to idle cutoff and a few seconds for the fuel to evaporate after priming. The "symptoms" of doing the procedure too fast were basically like the original poster described -- nothing doing on the first crank. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/
