Hi guys first post here, hope someone can help me out. I have a fiat dino spider 2.0 she starts first time when cold. Let the fuel build up then 3-5 pumps and it starts with ease, but this is not the case when she is hot. It does not install a lot of confidence when out for a drive. What should I look for, anyone have this problem before?

The starting Procedure with warm Engine should be Different: Start with full throttle without pumping.
In case the Petrol is really hot it could also be a problem with bubbles in the fuel. There are special Tools that can be installed in the fuel line to get rid of These bubbles. I only know the german name 'Dampfblasenabscheider' for these.
As the 2400 Engine have a fuel line From the carbs back to the fuel tank they don't have these issue.
