3 or 4 kicks when its warm

[marktheskin]

my vespa t5 starts first kick when its cold and with choke. however when its warm and no choke takes 3 or 4 kicks and when its warm with chocke takes 2 or 3 kicks. any idea why?

In my experience it's a carb that needs setting up/fine tuning.

I had it a lot to begin with and when I finally got it sorted the scoot kicked 1st time, every time, warm or cold.

If the rings are worn it will be harder to start when warm.

i agree with Al,its well worth putting new rings in as T5s do ware them out at a high rate compared to other vespas
