I am able to prop and start my J3-C65 without any trouble the first time every day. But when I fly somewhere, stop the engine and try and restart it an hour later, it will not start. It is fairly hot here in North Carolina now , in the nineties. I start by just propping, no result after 3 or 4 props, add one shot of prime (my engine seems to like priming) and prop - no result, add another shot of prime, no result, conduct my flooded procedure and prop - no result and start the same procedure all over again. Eventually it starts.

Can anyone explain to me what is happening and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks
