Clean or change your plugs, check you're getting strong spark. If thats good are you getting enough gas.

Back to basics, fuel, spark and air.....

I gather it is turning over...

...hmmm...almost like a hot start assist issue...cept the other way around from normal...lol

if checking all the basics doenst help...check the voltage to your starter...and the ground...you may have a weak starter...if there is a local schucks, kragen, or checkers around...they can check that for free (considering you can start it and get it down there)

anywho...good luck with it
