That one barb is obviously needed for the vacuum and the oil injection would have been on the carb.
A new(er) carb or Premix will solve problems, but the oil pump will still need to be addressed. You could plug it?

Re: Starts cold, runs, hard time restarting when warm.

Also, when you are trying the warm start, have you tried giving it just a little throttle. My 1985 requires that in the warmer weather or when it has been run hard and I do a short shut off time.
