Is it flooding?
Today's gasoline boils at lower temps and expands more when it gets hot. In Texas I have to set the floats down 1/8 to 1/4 lower than factory to get correct fuel level in the bowl. If I leave the float at the stock height it dumps fuel down the throat at hot shutdown, flooding the intake with raw gasoline. As Tim said above, holding the throttle on the floor (do not pump it) and cranking will sometimes get the engine to start, but you have to keep the throttle up a bit until all the extra gas clears out of the engine.
