Dave - been there, done that. I think that I must pay serious attention to float height and discover what main jet I have. Like I said, running in normal temperatures don't cause a problem, its just when we get these really high summer temps.
Just to add another bit of info. Cold or hot start, always have to use the choke. For cold start (less than 5deg C), full choke and half accelerator, then play the choke between zero and full, for the first 1/2 minute or so. Hot start, full choke and she fires up on the first couple of revs. If I don't use the choke, I can crank for 1/4 mins.
Its the same wether I use the handle or starter - if using the handle, a couple of swings with the ign off.
