Starting a Warm/Hot Engine

[Grizzlee]

Noticed recently that the old BoXa takes a little more time to start after it has been run for a while. When it's cold it starts within a couple of turns, but when warm or hot it takes quite a few seconds of cranking to spring to life.

Once started it ticks over and runs like a dream and never fails to start, so was wondering if it was just down to the hot weather? Anyone else noticed this?

Im a bit of a newbie, but would a shot of redex help? Maybe a dirty injector?

Worth a try and cheap, but I would have thought it would be the same when cold if it were an injector, plus it runs so well once started.
