Default 2005 road king starting problem

I have a 2005 Road King Custom that I recently bought & has a starting problem when bike is warmed up. The Motor is modified: 107 cubic inch
3 7/8" bore 4 1/2" stroke Buit by T-Man Performance 11 to 1 compresssion
TR 650 Cams T Man 2" valve heads with compression releases Dyna 2000
Ignition Screaming Eagle 51mm CV Carb with T-man pro series manifold Etc.

As the weather got warmer the bike is harder to start when engine warms up. It cranks for a long time than pops/backfires & is very hard to fire.

No problems starting cold I pull out the choke give it 4 twists on the throttle
push in the compression release & it fires right up. The bike runs great, The plugs are not fouled, It seems like a vapor lock or maybe the fuel is boiling when shut off & the temperature rises. Any Sugestions?

Default Starting problem When hot

I got a hold of T-Man & was told I need to upgrade to a Tec 2.0 Starter &
problem will be solved. the 1.7 Spyke starter is not powerfull enough.
