308 starting issues

Not sure if this one has been covered but I'd appreciate some advice.On my carb 308 I have a curious starting issue.Firstly-engine cold when I try to start I get a single click and nothing else. It may do this a couple of times and then the starter will kick in and the beast will fire up.Then if I restart when hot, very often it will turn over briskly but not fire till I turn the ignition off.So at the point of killing the ignition it goes VROOOM and dies - after doing this once or twice it will fire up and then runs normally.Usually happens at petrol stations causing great embarrasment.

The clicking may be the starter solenoid trying to engage when cold. Don't know about the hot start issue. I've had Ferrari's that you would get the click click click then it would engage. Replacing the starter solenoid solved the problem and is not that expensive.
