Default correct procedure

What is the correct procedure when a turbine does not start? I was starting my P-80 for the third flight and it woud not start. Check everything and all settings were fine. Tried a few times, but did not stop for more than a few minutes between attempts. When it finally did start you can imagine the amout of kero that was pupmed into it. It was a fire ball. Luckely only minor damage was done to the airframe. The turbine ran just fine after that, but I could not fly as my brake lines were melted.

So what should I have done after the first no start?

Thanks
Scott
