After a 2 minute taxi for fuel, my F wouldn’t start

Are you sure you have SOS (shower of sparks; makes buzzing sound) or Slick-Start (electronic; no sound)?

Well not 100% sure but I am 99% sure it's an SOS.  The plane is pretty stock and IIRC I did see the SOS module when the cowl was off last.  But again, not 100% sure.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the SOS was INSIDE the cabin; not firewall forward.

Update on the ignition issue: apparent wiring issue from the SlickStart box to LH magneto. The logbook entry reads "corrected wiring from SlickStart Pin 1 to L/H capacitor." If I understood correctly, the #1 pin wire was connected to the L/H mag ground rather than the capacitor. Since the engine was cold-starting and running fine and if I take the solution at face value, I assume this wiring issue allowed the engine to cold start and run and only manifested as a problem in a hot start scenario.

Thanks for the feedback. If the solution sounds off base to folks more knowledgeable, I'm interested to know. Meanwhile, plane is back in my own hangar.
