I typically land and taxi for fuel, then start again to taxi to my hangar.
Sometimes during this hot start, there will be a short (1 second or less) delay after engaging the starter before the prop starts turning. Sometimes it will turn 10-20 degrees, pause for less than a second and then rotate maybe 3 blades and start.
Mine is a O-540 carburated engine.
Is this likely related to the battery or the starter? I have already eplaced the starter wire with copper as this as an SB or AD (can't recall).
The battery and starter were new in May 2013 and have 333 hours.
