James,
If you haven't heard this already....
If your diesel has been starting OK without benefit of the cold-start
cable, then the timing was set "wrong" for normal running. This would
give you the hot-start problem you encountered. The cold-start setting
changes the "normal" timing to improve the cold-start characteristics.
Just have your mech hook up the cable and time it correctly and you
should be fine.
