Evening all,
FE 4500 08 (old type) has been running grand but recently when trying to restart it, it has become addicted to the hot start.
It's not needed from cold, couple of twists of the gas, choke on and away she goes (foot or electric).
But.. when warm (running in temps from -5 deg C to +15 deg C) it just will not restart unless the hot start is pulled... is this normal or is it a sign that something else is off colour.
I'm guessing that the pilot circuit is running too rich (and the hot start is leaning it off) but I'm no expert. Input would be much appreciated.
P.S if anyone is up for a ride in Slovakia let me know...
Cheers
