Any ideas? I just changed the plugs. The wires haven't been
changed in awhile. New water separator. New fuel filter (ceramic)
a couple of years back.
Once the engine starts the second time (need to run at fairly
high RPM for awhile) the engine runs fine. When shut down hot, it will
always restart right away.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I would rebuild the carb(s?) before doing plug wires. You can check
the plug wires by spraying a little water on them while it is running,
but in my opinion, I would rebuild the carb(s) first.
