I have a 1985 Supra Rider with an after market Holley Carb. This just happend the last few times I've taken the boat out, but the engine will not start when it is warm. It cranks, but just doesn't start up when its warm.
When the engine is cold, it starts up like a champ and runs great ALL day long...but as soon as I kill it and try to restart the engine, that's a different story. Even with some Starter Fluid (though I hate using it), it still will not start. I don't think its the battery or alternator, and the reason is, I just leave it as it is until the next morning and it'll start up fine without hesitation.
The only thing I can think of is possibly the carb somehow floods the engine when its warm (float valve??). I had the carb rebuilt last year, but i'm hoping its not the same issue.
Is there more strain or load requirements on the starter/battery or any other electrical components when the engine is warm that would keep it from starting up?
Thank you for your help in advance.
