Re: Hard starting when Hot

I think it's a little more involved than that, Fred. IIRC when correctly set up, when depressing the throttle the starter motor should engage first and the throttle must be pushed yet further to engage the choke unloader. With a cold engine you only want to push the throttle to the point where the starter engages. With a hot engine and with one possibly flooded you want to push the pedal beyond the point that the starter engages so that you also trip the choke unloader.
