Peculiar starting problem

[tudor@tvo.org (Michael Helms)]

Hi guys and gals,

Small problem with my '86 that has me stumped.

If the car is stone cold (ie. it has been sitting all night), the car
starts right up on the first kick.  But, if the engine is warm, it
gets tougher and tougher to start.  Now, if the engine is hot and you
shut it off for a minute, it's fine to re-start ... but if you leave
it for 10 or 20 minutes, you have to turn it over much more to get it
going again.

It's almost as if the engine should be getting an extra shot of fuel
that it isn't when it's warm.  What could be wrong?

Thanks,
-- Michael Helms
