Check the mixture screw is adjusted correctly, when was the last time the Amal had a good clean out. Try some NGK's as well. Won't be much wrong ;D

My Maggie hates restarting when hot also. I wish I knew why. However I found if you swop the plug leads and kick over until the exhaust pops, then swop back, it starts. Why?
