Thanks for all the replys. To answer a few of the comments:

No, the starter doesnt hesitate or slow down when I try to restart it.

No, the fuel lines are not to close to "hot" things.

Some of the comments have me wondering though. For example the one about the choke not working properly and the one about the solenoid getting too hot. I replaced the starter about a month ago and when I put it all back together I forgot to put my heat shield back on. About 5 years ago I had put that heat shield on when I was in Texas. It helped out tremendously. However, now I'm in Alaska and it isnt 105 degrees. Matter of fact it is about 100 degrees colder. If it is in fact the solenoid getting too hot that is causing these starting problems I'd be pretty surprised. I can't rule it out though. I'm gonna recheck the carb settings and linkage then put another heat shield on my starter solenoid. One of those two hopefully will solve this.
