Start Up Problem / Question

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

Voltage: not a problem, it takes 2000 rpm to get the alternator field flashed (no biggie).

Sputtering when hot: you arent getting cold start enrichment when its hot (which is what is supposed
to happen). Setting the idle a tad higher might fix it, but then you might have idle too high when
hot. Honestly every rocco i've had, even running perfect, has had that problem when hot starting.
