2006 2000SR3 5.0 carbureted Starting Issues when hot

Hi Maxum world!! Having an issue with our 2000sr3, starts fine when cold but we've had an issue after we've run for a while then park in a cove somewhere to swim and hang, go to start her up and she won't want to start. after a few minutes she'll kick over. The last time it happened got her to start with throttle at about 1/4 to WOT. Possible vapor lock??

Is this a 2 bbl or 4 bbl, TKS? Look for signs of fuel dripping in the throat when you turn the engine off. Sounds like a flooding issue.
