Quote: My hot starting problems were solved by going to non-ethanol fuel which is becoming more available here in the Rochester NY area. It started at marinas as the ethanol was killing marine fuel systems and engines. I now use it in everything. Here is website:
Reason is that alcohol blends tent to have a much lower boiling point and will not take as much heat soak and will spill over the needle and seat causing a flooded condition. Starting warm/hot engines using blended fuels as you would a flooded engine by holding the pedal to the floor opening the throttle blades to allow more air to help clear the condition should help. Along with using a non blended fuel if possible.
