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
