I have this issue when starting my 2017 Chaparral Sunesta 244. Doesn't happen on a cold start but does when it's warm outside and the engine is cut off for less than 5-10 mins.

ie... if we're our wake boarding, tubing etc and I shut the engine off to allow riders to swap, when I go and restart the engine, it sounds like the engine isn't firing up. If I let it sit for 5-10 min or so, the engine starts up fine.

Any advise or thoughts?
