???Could you define that?! And are you sure it needs more fuel? On mine I've found that it has a hot soak restart rich condition-which is the most common one. I've had to decrease the crank fuel vs temp table to help out with it.

Does sound like it's lean then...increase the crank fuel pulse width vs coolant temp table should do it.
