Dave, there is always a logical answer … a loose CAS w= ire should have caused a previous intermittent situation – not a go/no-go engine.

Where exactly is your engine air intake and how do you cover= it?

Went to the plane today, installed the spark plugs, an= d it started right up.. Cool, but...

Was it:

Bad gas followed by a flooded engine?

Low battery caused by a possible battery drain (like t= he always hot radio or engine monitor being left on overnight)

Bad start up procedure?

Today I removed the cover from the engine air inlet and realized that I cant remember specifically removing or replacing it the other day.. was that still in place? cant poss= ibly have been considering that I removed the upper cowl twice and would have ha= d to stare right at it several times... Still, I have done dumber things.<= o:p>

A loose CAS connection that is going to jump up an bit= e me? - this is what really worries me...

Will take it easy for the next few hours..

Thanks to everyone for all the help, input, and empathy.
