I also have been having a little warm start issue...now I know the cause?? A degraded/bad accumulator will cause a warm start issue right? SO buy a used one as they are not repairable...is this correct?

Thanks,

I don't believe they are repairable and yes, this is known cause of hard hot starts. Some have found loose clamps causing leaks too or bad hoses. Time to score more on that 1/2 price sale.
