hard start

My '76 Turbo starts perfectly on a cold start. Thereafter, after its been driven for awhile,any attempt to re-start when it is warm results in numerous unsuccessful cranks before its willing to fire up again. I'll crank it for a few seconds, stop, and repeat the process several times before it fires up.
I am not sure how much throttle to give it while cranking and perhaps that is the problem. Otherwise, it runs great. This is a 20k miles car, if that helps.
On another note, I am grateful for the responses that I received on my "difficult steering" thread. Thoroughly cleaning out the steering rack and repacking did the trick.
Many thanks.

How about the hand throttle? Why not try pulling it up half way, and see how that works? You can always experiment up or down some, until it fires.
