Subject:Hot Start Problem in H2O cooled

Hey All,
In my 83 Water cooled Vanagon, I have noticed a little problem.  If I try to restart the engine after it has been turned off for only a couple of minutes, it is hard to start.  It cranks and cranks but won't start.  It's kinda like it's not not getting enough gas (or too much maybe??)  Anyway, after it has sat for about 5 minutes, it starts again, no problem.  The only problem seems to be right after it has been turned off.  Anybody have ideas or suggestions about how to remedy this?

Peace, JB
