Subject:hard start problem

it's an 81 aircooled vanagon:
in the morning (outside temperature ~50), it immediately starts. But
later in the afternoon (around 5 pm) it turns over but doesn't fire
up. Only playing with the gas pedal makes it eventually run. I noticed
that behavior the last couple of weeks when it got warmer (afternoon
temperatures are in the 80s now). Any suggestions what to look for?
