245 won't start when engine is warm! 200 81

hello,

my brown 1981 245 dl wagon (standard) won't start when the engine is warm...

first thing in the morning, it will always start fine (after 3 or 4 seconds). but now recently, it won't start when the engine is warmed up - the starter turns, but the engine won't catch. i wait for a minute, then same thing, then another minute, and it will reluctantly start if i feather the gas pedal properly. almost feels like flooding??

is it something to do with the hot-start valve?

thank you very much,

andrew
