Re: Hard Starting Hot

From the vid: IMO, the choke plate is opening way too much for a "cold" start.

Also, crank the engine (with throttle closed) for ~2 seconds to fill the float bowl with fuel. Then do 1-2 medium pumps and start the engine. The choke plate should be ~1/2 open after initial start when "cold".
