Default similar issue

...Just some other input that I experienced on my FE. I had the exact same warm/host start issue a while back with my new motor. Would not start easily once warm. After several checks, and chasing it around looking for something complicated, it turned out to be something very simple. I had previously played with my idle mixture screws just a bit and they were just a tad lean. I set them back to 1/8" out on each and wallah! Tuned it from there. I didn't think something small like this would make that much of a difference, but it did. Cured, never had a problem since.
