Megan, the Chandler-Evans (CECO) was a modulated start, not an automatic start like the Bendix. If it gets hot, back off a smidge. But you can't snap it to idle like the Bendix, as I'm sure you now remember.
Only hot starts were with a sick battery, or after it sat in the snow at Charlotte's Pass for 3 days, the engine froze solid, starter made no progress at all. Couple of hours with a Tangi on the end of 3 extension cords loosened it enough to turn over.
