We can not tell from this side of the computer screen, you will have to test things to see

Usually they have a bit more trouble starting when they're cold, generally start instantly when motor is warmed up. Maybe try pumping the primer bulb a few times when motor is hot and give that a try. Are your spark plugs good and clean? Good Luck and let us know what you find!:)

Sorry if that sounded harsh, I missed the part about when hot, but you still need to check to see if it is sparking or not.

A inductive timing light or a spark tester works well to see that each plug wire is getting spark.

Also give more info on the motor like model # and what is happening and when

If this thing runs fine but has trouble starting after getting warmed up then you or the shop will have to do some testing in those conditions, while the problem is occurring.

Since you will not post a model # no one even knows if this thing has carbs, or injectors
