Fuel remaining was my first guess, and looks like I was right. My oil pressure is in the 70-75 psi in cruise at 5200rpm. On idle it is below 30 like yours. > > I also had a short (0.6) uneventful flight this afternoon.

It sputters, than i turn on the cold start for a moment which brings it to life. If I don't hit the cold start it will not start? Whatever works? How's your cooling in flight without thermostat John?
