Never whether hot or cold. When it's hot, all I do is touch the starter and it fires right up. Cold it may turn over a time or two before it starts, but it never backfires.

My Sporty did that from time to time. Ran great otherwise, never worried about it.

My sporty did this once when I just added my slip on, and it was a hot day, over 90. Haven't had it since. But it was a loud bang
