2001 Johnson 70HP Starting Problems

[John Merchant]

I recently purchased this motor which had about 20 hours on it. It starts at first try from cold. Runs well at all throttle settings, but will not start when hot. Doesn't even try. Any constructive suggestions will be appreciated.

John,<br /><br />Will it start using the warm up lever? Will priming it make a difference? Is the fuel bulb hard while cranking?
