## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED ENGINE WOULD NOT START AFTER FUEL STOP.  AFTER 45 MINUTES ANOTHER ATTEMPT WAS MADE.  ENGINE STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED THE FOLLOWING DAY.  DURING OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE THE AXIAL COMPRESSOR WAS TURNED BY HAND.  A NOTICEABLE DRAG WAS EXPERIENCED ALONG WITH A SQUEAK DURING ROTATION.  THE MODULE 02/03 ASSEMBLY WAS REMOVED FOR RETURN TO MFG ENGINE FACILITY FOR EVALUATION AND/OR REPAIR.
