Um, hot start has nothing to do with electric start. It basically richens the pilot circuit, allowing more fuel into the engine upon startup.. I think. I know it adjusts the mixture for the pilot circuit, but I forget if it richens or leans it.

It leans the mixture.
It lets in more air.
Think of it as the opposite of a choke.
