Default RE: Evo...hot start??

I ride a kick only Evo, when its hot it will flood like a SOB! My hot start is to not touch the throttle and just kick it. Don't know what carb you have, but the S&S E I run will fill up fast and be ready to run in seconds after I refill the tank. Do not prime, keep throttle closed. Usually starts first (maybe second) kick. Hope this helps.
