Hard starting hot

My Pinz takes a lot longer to start when it is hot. It starts instantly when engine cold regardless of air temp. Takes a bit of cranking when hot. Ideas?

Heat may be affecting the coil.

Check your charging voltage. If something's wrong with the voltage regulator or the alternatorr and gives out over 30 volts that will overheat your coil

What is the interval between starts? Long enough for the fuel to evaporate in the bowl in hot weather? Are you using the "choke" in hot weather; full? half? There are many variables.
