Subject:hot-not-start

I tried to do my duty and use the Vanagon archives.  My Westy has a new
symptom and I thought it was the Vanagon Syndrome, but I read now that this
is a loss of power and hesitation at full rpms.  That is not my situation.

Instead, sometimes the '84 Westy 1.9 wbx won't start if I turn it off (or
kill it by stalling) when hot, then try to start it back up again.�If I wait
a little bit (haven't timed it yet) then it starts right up again, per
usual.  Does this symptom have a name, or does anybody know the technique
for avoiding this?

Matt
