It is the fuel pump! Well, I don't know about fuel pump or not, but I know that a hot engine just needs more air to get started, fuel pump problem or not. I have never had a problem starting my engine when it is hot, and I don't know if there is a problem with my fuel pump or not. I have never "cooled my fuel pump." You just push the throttle to at least half or more open, mixture to idle cut off and crank away. It takes a little longer, but when it fires, push the mixture in about half and grab the throttle quick and pull it back to about a 1000 RPM position and lean a little on the mixture quick like. Works every time, fuel pump problem or not. George Shattuck N320GS 900 plus hours of hot and cold starts, injected.
