Hi Tony
Sounds familiar - my 914 can be tricky to start when hot too ( - but only
when people are looking, hmmmm.)
Have noticed that you really have to be stingy with the throttle - and no
choke.
Better to crank the starter with the power setting at expected 1600 rpm's
and then add throttle after the engine fires than to adjust throttle at
2100 rpm's before cranking.
But it surely is no Ford Focus.... ( - for our american friends: Ford
Focus is an european parody of a car..!)
Regards Gert

We've got a 914 power Europa here in NZ with XS cowlings. All works
well
until you try to start the engine when it's hot - at which point it
becomes totally uncooperative. Ambient temperatures are in the mid
teens
(celcius!).
I recall that some earlier builders had the same issue. Was there a
resolution?
