Jag,

There's no warm start procedure other than a twist of the ignition key. When I hear hot start problems I think vapor lock. When you shut off the motor the temp in the engine compartment goes up before it starts to cool. If you've got an unprotected fuel line the fuel can vaporize making a hot start difficult.

When fuel in the line vaporizes(before it's supposed to)it raises fuel line pressure making it harder for the fuel pump to supply gas to the carbs.

When I first got my '67 El Camino it had hot start problems, I insulated the incoming fuel and fuel pump, I've had no hot start problems since.
