I have 10 to 1 pistons and after flying for a while, getting gas, I am unable to start due to very high resistance to cranking caused, I assume by the hot engine. After cooling for 2 hours or so, she turns easy and starts right up. I thought the problem was with the P680s being 4-5 years old so I replaced them. No improvement to the problem. All suggestions welcome.

So, I don't have a clue.
