Jim,
I have a Cont TSIO-360 engine that gave me the same problems as you 
describe. I tried all the suggested methods and a few of my own. I could 
never get confident that it would start every time. Very frustrating! Out of 
desperation I installed a Slick Start Magneto booster. It solved ALL my 
starting (or rather NOT starting) problems! That little $275 dollar box is 
the best gadget I've bought for my plane. It now starts every time on the 
2nd or 3rd blade, hot or cold! I'm confident that it is going to start when 
I turn the key w/o any voodoo, prayers or special combinations of levers and 
fuel pump (I do however still purge the fuel lines when the engine is hot). 
Try one. I bet you will be as surprised as I was. (And no, I don't have a 
financial stake in the company <BG>)
