Yamaha F30B Starting problems when warm

I have installed a new Yamaha30 outboard this year with electric start. Starts great when cold. Runs great and does not cut out. Also starts when warm if i start it up immediately after switching it off. BUT......... if I switch it off and leave it off for 20 mins or so (as I do all the time when fishing) then try to start it it will not start. Or it will fire, run for 1-2 seconds then cut out. Any ideas?

PS 1. Next morning starts up and runs fine
2. I have tried pumping the priming bulb, and tried using the throttle lever
 
OK... I am answering my own question because what I have found out is that this is a fault known by Yamaha where the heat from the engine vaporises the fuel in the fuel line when it sits for a period after running. The original fuel pump is not strong enough to pump it through.
Yamaha have issued a re-call on the fuel pump and are replacing it with a stronger one that is supposed to fix the problem.
Hope this can help anyone else with a 2012/2013 Yamaha F30
