Ta muchlyOK, so "Hot Start" seems to be when the temperature during starting rises faster than it should leading to either automatic shutdown or controlled shutdown when the pilot notices the temperature reading.
Google seem to think this is one of
Fuel system fault putting too much fuel in
Low battery / start speed not putting enough air in
Facing the engine into the wind
Very hot day.
But basically cooking your engine is going to lead to bad things happening
