have random starting issues with c70. seem to have more trouble when the ambient temp is warmer. ignition was replaced about four years ago. problem is getting worse, sometimes takes four or five tries to fire. any ideas?

Vapor lock in the fuel line? Leaking check valve in the fuel line allowing fuel to drain back to the tank?

If it runs fine after it starts, it's FUEL not ignition

sounds like that could be it. any ideas on troubleshooting the fuel supply system for a lock/check valve leak problem?
