Narrative:
I had loaded my 2 passenger and bags on my company C-206. This was to be my third flight of the day in this aircraft. As I attempted to start the engine, the propeller rotated to a point where it stopped. I attempted 2 additional starts, but the propeller stopped at the same point. I shut the magnetos off, pulled the mixture, told my passenger I was going to step out and rotate the propeller past the high compression spot. I moved the propeller just inches, when the engine roared to life. I then stepped out of the way, ran around to get into the aircraft. I was able to stop the aircraft within 30-40 ft, just as it struck the cherokee 181. Thankfully no one was hurt! Aircraft should have been grounded for a mechanic to fix.
