After it sets, take off the air cleaner and see if the accelerator pump is squirting gas when you move the throttle. If not, it means no fuel in the bowls because of boiling in the carb like the experts have said. Don't follow the old maids advice of putting clothes pins on the fuel line. Why people used to think wood was a good conductor and would actually help is beyond me. On my 40, at 105-110 degrees climbing the Jerome mountain in Arizona, you could hear the fuel boil when we stopped. Took a heat shield and insulating spacer to cure it. The reason not to use an aluminum spacer is that it conducts heat just like your manifold. Heed the advice already posted, you will be able to fix it.
