Hard to start when warm

Snufy
I finely got to take a longer ride on my 1980 CB750C I felt it ran great no missing lots of power. When I took a short break 10 min it started right up but would not stay running had to use choke for a min. Ran fine all the way home just like on way out Idled fine at stop lights did not stall

How cold was it out? Honda's are cold blooded.

At 55 if it was a half hour the Toolmatic would need some choke. Is it still doing it?

I agree with Tools.The way the carbs hang off these bikes,the motor still has heat in it,but the carbs chill off.Especially if the wind is blowing any.Sounds about typical

Thanks I understand now  and won't worry I'm going to get to get stuck somewhere.
I have not been able to ride except for short trips. Hope to get out this weekend

How true that is also why I like this site. I have learned a lot just reading the post. I am not so intimidated I'm not afraid to try and try and fix things. I'm not a great maniac but I can fallow directions
