My 1973 Skyhawk has the 360/180 hp engine carburated.
When the engine is hot it is difficult to start.
My procedure is master switch battery side on, fuel pump on. Prime throttle 3
times. Fuel pump off, turn starter while advancing the throttle.
Today she would not fire and the battery went south.

Any recommendations, suggestions.
Will check timing and Magnetos tomorrow.

With the 360 on my Archer, I find that if I start again within an hour or two,
I start cranking with the mixture still cut off. There always seems to be a
little gas left somewhere and the engine gives a "chug" and if you advance the
mixture at the "chug" , you have an easy start. I figure that flooding is the
worry, so start cranking with the fuel cut off.
