If it is an electrical hard start then it is the coil, Fuel hard start is probably down to vapourising

Graham,

A few things to work through:
Idle tube blocked (or idle restrictor wire missing for EH and later carbs)
Fuel level too high
Idle vent valve not set right (BXUV-2, BXV-2 and WW carburettors only)
Float chamber baffle plate absent (HR 186S engines only)

Cheers,
Harv.
