You has to pump the pedal to start it and it has a new gas and air filter, when you shut it off it loses gas pressure after 30sec. The pressure is up to specifications when it is running
It happens cold or hot I see it is wet on the top of the block under the intake manifold. But it runs great

If you are loosing fuel pressure that quickly, there has to either be a leak in the system or the fuel pump is allowing back flow. Check for leaks. As far as the starting issue, the lack of fuel pressure is the cause.
