I was talking to one of the parts folks at Friendly Honda, where I bought my NT.
He is having trouble with his 2010 silver NT starting when it gets hot and has been ridden for 30 minutes or longer. When the engine cools enough it starts right up. He has about 26,000 miles on it, cause he rides it to work every day, rain or shine.
I told him it reminded me of vapor lock in carburated engines. But this is a fuel injection engine. It seems that the engine is starved for fuel once it heats up. Could air be getting in the fuel line? Anyone have any thoughts what could cause such a malfunction on a NT?
Hope it is not contagious......
Since he works at a Honda dealership, he has had it in the shop twice now. At first they thought it was a battery problem and put in a new one. Did not fix of course.
My daughter was having a very similar problem with starting when hot on a Mazda 323 she once owned. The Mazda dealer traced it to a bad throttle body.
