Hello all I have a 1983 2.0 air cooled t25. A little strange but from cold it starts on the button (although the auto choke takes a while to kick in). But when you start from warm it take ages to fire. Any ideas?

worn engine,compression drops when your engine gets warm?
do a compression test .

Oh no! I hope not. I thought it might be a carb problem.

I had a similar problem which is all sorted since we replaced the fuel tank and lines. Gunk in them I guess.

They do as you have to purge a rich vapor mixture from the carbs .
But there are different lengths of ages.
First do you follow the starting procedure for a hot engine? It would also be worth checking the auto chokes are adjusted correctly.

Yes bigherb that procedure works perfect for our 82 Aircooled.

Perfect thank you all. And bigherb I'll try that out top man
