Engine is a lycoming O-235 with a Marvel MA-3A carb. Battery is an Earthex ET680. The battery had been on an approved charger and the charger lights were in the green just prior to engine start.
I hit the start switch and the engine makes about a 1/4 turn and then stops dead. All power is gone from the panel.
I shut off the master switch.
I'm just about certain I've blown some fuse because everything went dark.
I wait about 30 seconds and turn on the master switch - and power comes back on the panel.
So I try the start switch and it fires up, although a bit sluggish for a fully charged battery. Engine seemed to run fine before I shut it down.
Any ideas what happened or what I should check? Never had anything like this before.
TIA
