The procedure I suggested is for COLD start. However, heat from the running or warm engine MAY cause fuel to evaporate from carb AFTER engine is shut down which COULD cause your later hard start from cold.

Good luck!

If that is the case here, I stab the accel pedal several time to force feed some fuel into the carb throat with the accelerator pump. THEN push pedal
to floor SLOWLY to set the choke's fast idle setting and MAYBE this will solve your problem.
