Just worth checking that your battery is in perfect order. I had a problem
when the engine was warm and the engine appeared to turn over normally on
the starter. But in fact the battery was nearing the end of its useful life
and wasn't producing quite enough oomph to get the thing going.

Subject: Re: [Flying] 914 Hot Start problem
I had trouble one time and let it sit for five minutes and it started with
the throttle open about one inch(no choke). I have occasionally used the
choke when hot but find it not necessary most times.
but I do open the throttle one inch and it takes several seconds of
cranking to start. When cold it goes right away with the choke.
