Well, it turns out to be a coincidence that the battery was also low. I brought the alternator to a parts store to test it and found it to be functional. I opened the battery caps and discovered that the cells had gone dry. I filled them back up with distilled water and I believe that the battery is now fine. Anyway, the hot start problem still continues.
