Why engine hard to start when cold?
When it’s cold, engine oil becomes thicker and doesn’t flow around the engine as well. In the rare event that there’s moisture in the fuel lines, this can freeze and cause a fuel blockage, meaning the engine won’t start. This is particularly common in the fuel lines, which are thin and easily blocked by ice.

Why does my Car start when the engine is warm?
Second possibility also has to do with the injectors. When worn they can get out of resistance spec from the internal wires developing an open condition that gets exacerbated when the engine is warm thus demanding too much current to jump the gaps to fire which would also cause a warm start issue.
Why does my Harley Davidson 09 Ultra not start?
31,000 miles on my 09 Ultra. When the bike is HOT some times the engin will not crank. It sounds like gears grinding. When it does try to start it will hesitate as if the battery is weak. When it is at ambient temp it will crank right up.

Can a cold engine start a Harley Davidson?
After waiting say 15 or 20 minutes, it starts fine. It doesnt do this all the time and never when I first start with a cold engine. Only after I have been riding awhile sometimes it will start right away but seems after the 4th or 5th stop nothing, it just cranks like it not getting any gas or not firing.
Why does my car starter not crank when it’s Hot?
If your starter easily cranks a cold engine, but “drags” or cranks very slowly when hot, there may be a “heat soak” problem. Before you condemn the starter as bad, you should perform a system diagnosis of the battery, cables and starter.
