Just to re-iterate what many have said. Modern blended fuels have several components. When a hot engine is shut down, the volatiles "boil off" quickly, and the evaporation of volatiles takes place over time, leaving the residue which has the "heat index" component of the fuel left in the carburetor. It is analogous to diesel fuel: high heat index, low volatility. To start the engine, you must replace the volatiles for ignition, whether it is done with fresh gas from a mustard squeeze bottle or starting ether, or just cranking fresh gas from the tank. I am not a chemist, or a Petroleum Engineer. I just made that up---------------based on experience. My old BMW motorcycle gave me fits until I figured that out.
