Try driving home and parking it for the night, then, after it has
fully cooled down, go back out and restart it. Shut down after it has
run for about 10 seconds. The next morning it should start up
immediately.
This problem is usually caused by the heat soak that occurs after you
shut off a hot engine. The heat from that engine boils off all the
gas from all the lines leaving them empty, as the engine cools back
down air is drawn in from various tiny leaks. The next time you go to
start it. you find all the fuel lines filled with air. These take
some time to fill the next morning.
