Some say that issue is caused by "hot soak" (similar to vapor lock). I have it on my '98 150HP motor. I let her idle at 1200 or more upon hot restart, for a minute. That seems to get around the issue, at least for me.

I had a similar issue turned out to be a sticky primer valve causing the cold engine to start ok because it needed to be choked but after it was warm it no longer required the extra fuel for starting and caused it to run way to rich try pulling small lines of solenoid after warm up to see if that helps be careful if fuel is spitting out onto hot engine (obviously) you may have to rebuild or replace fuel solenoid
