Hi,
I am bit desparate with my Honda HF1211 lawn mower (motor GXV340).
The motor starts without any problem when it's cold, but starting it hot mostly doesn't work.
As soon as the motor has cooled down, starting is OK again.
I didn't notice any sparks when starting hot, so I changed the spark plug as well as the ingnition coil.
But that didn't solve the problem; still no sparks when starting with a hot motor.
This problem is really driving me crazy.
By the way, when starting hot, the motor makes a weird noise during the first few seconds (as you can see or hear in this small video - between 10th and 14th second):

Could a malfunctioning small starter solenoid produce such a loud noise? Or would it be the starter engine causing the problem?
Thanks for any advice.
