I find it harder to start the engine when it's hot like after buying gas then starting cold. This tells me that my hot starts are less than optimal, since the engine should be easier to start hot.

POH lists hot start procedure for newer Cherokees with fuel injected engine, but nothing for the older carbureted ones. Any tips? Currently I use the same procedure as cold starts but skip the priming step.

On a related note, do all carbureted engines in the Cherokee have an accelerator pump that squirts fuel into the carburetor when throttle is pushed in?
