Seems like there would have been a thread about this previously but I couldn't find one.
I've only shut down a hot engine and tried a restart a short time later twice but both times I had a real hard time restarting. Hard time getting it to fire at all and, when it does, lots of vibration for a short time before it smooths out. Engine ran great before shutdown and ran fine once I got it restarted. Also fires right up when cold.
Don't remember the first time but this last time I ran the electric fuel pump for probably about a minute before the restart attempt if that's relevant.
When I restarted, I had the choke full open (pushed in) and the throttle cracked. I also tried throttle full open on the chance it was flooded but that didn't seem to do much.
So, what's the trick to restarting these things when hot?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
