I have a similar problem. If I try to crank the car after sitting a
few minutes, it's hard to start. If it sits longer, it will start
without a problem.
I attribute it to heat soaking of the carbs and fuel line...and I also
have a heat shield. I haven't looked into the routing of the fuel
line yet - my solution is to just keep driving and never stop...
