what CC? What state of tune etc?
Someone on here sugested a 1mm hole in the rubber inlet from the air filter - tried it at the lowest point and it seems to cure any warm start issues with a Jettex. Only drawback is the fuel which is normally spit back, being deposited on the inner floorboards

you should really need the choke to start from cold....
other warm non-starting causes can be:
fuel filler cap blocked
plug gap
worn rings
something electrical breaking down

thanks lockman69 have checked the choke out today and found a small burr on the choke jet , this i have dressed. Have taken the lammy out for a run and everything seems better when kicking over on a warm start fingers crossed it stays like it.
