Help with Starting issues

Today was a hot - 80F and humid day 85% humidity.

Took the truck out for some simple errands to pick up some stuff at few stores. Stopped at one store for 5min and started back up no problem, stopped at another store for another 5min and started back up no problem. Then I made my last stop and spent about 20 min or so in the store at this point it was getting really humid as it was getting ready for a storm. When I came out and tried to start it back it would turn but not start, I checked my fuel had about half a tank in there, after about 5 to 10 min of trying on and off, the thing just fired right up.

Any thoughts on what it could be?

Re: Help with Starting issues

Is it possible your choke was stuck in the closed position? Does your truck run lean or rich? What did the engine temp rise to, possible vaporlock? Not much help here, lol. Also You will get a lot more help if you post in the general message forum instead of this one. This one is for individual builds.

I think its vapor lock as few others have suggested as well and yes I did realize that I posted in the wrong section and respoted in the right section where I have gotten some positive response
