I have had the same problem.. Have a 2010 WG with a PCV and never any issues.. until last year when it gets hot. What I have found to do is after you turn on the ignition, hit run then "immediately" push start.. When it's cold I let it prime, when hot I start it right away.
hope this helps..

Sweet...glad it worked for ya!
I guess if you guys are happy with that answer, but it seems to me that you all have an issue that is causing said problem. Probably faulty FPR(Fuel Pressure Regulator) or maybe the Injector is leaking. Eitherway I personally would have to find the problem and fix it correctly.

well I bought the bike via private deal as is, and as I am relocating to Ontario Canada I am selling as I cannot take it with me (long story). so I was thinking to go to the Harley dealership here, but was afraid they would charge me and not fix the issue. so I posted here.
bike runs fine, I will sell as is at discount price and tell the new owner about it how to go about starting it when warm. if I were to keep it, I would certainly look deeper into it.

I would consider trying to take care of the problem before I sold it, so you do not have to take a hit on the price.................
