I cannot hot start my airplane anymore. Last 4 attempts, same technique that has always worked, doesn't work. When I shut it down, I am forced to let it sit for about 30 minutes, then it start normally. Mag checks are fine, everything normal in all ops checks.
I've got some ideas of what it could be and I'm going into annual at the end of this week anyway. But, very interesting. It's a bit embarrassing. I have to fill her up at the self serve, then drag her off to the side and play on Facebook or something for 30 min before I can fire her back up. Something changed - I feel as confident that I can feel that it's not a technique problem. I've got 230 hours in this specific airplane now and have NEVER had a hot start problem until the last 4 consecutive, but on separate days, attempts.
Ideas?
