I doubt it is heat related... but, I can't see it ...
Next time... Choke it just a bit on start-up... sometimes a bit of extra gas [not necessarily squirted] is a Help...
Report back...

I got it - your intake seals are leaking when the motor gets totally sized hot

use the red silicone bands not the black rubber - even if you have to wait to get them its worth it
