Milano Back Fire/Hard Warm Starting

[Tim Mills <tm_002@domain.elided>]

Digesti,

My Milano back-fires out the rear tail pipe once in a
while.  This happens when starting out from a dead
stop and putting my foot into the throttle a bit. 
What are the probable causes of this?  The car runs
great at freeway speed and around town but is somewhat
hard to start after it has been run at temp and then
let to sit for an hour or so, ie: when the engine is
quite hot.  

The problem seems like it is not getting enough fuel. 
After the 2nd cranking the car will start usually
after the ignition is released from the starting
position. The ignition is on of course but the key is
released from cranking the starter motor, then the
engine "catches" and starts right up.  Could this hard
warm starting be related to the back firing?  Stone
cold starts are flawless. TIA.

Ciao,

Tim
