It is near impossible to restart these diesels IMMEDIATELY after stopping UNLESS you press the compression release OR let the pressure bleed off for a time.
On the top of the engine is usually a compression release lever. Press this down and crank the engine for a few seconds then release the lever and the unit should start.
On some units the lever is hard to find. My unit had a panel to remove and I have put a hinge on it to make it easy open. I now always start the unit using the compression release as it is easier on the starter motor.

It is running too lean on fuel. The cylinder head temperature is too high causing the fuel to vaporize upon entering the combustion chamber during hot restart of the engineif it is a gasoline engine there will be a high engine rpm air/fuel mixture adjustment screw on the carburetor which you can adjust in small increments both clockwise and counterclockwise until the engine achieves its highest rpm. Once that setting is determined adjust the screw counterclockwise until a noticeable rpm drop is apparent while still giving good engine performance and smooth running. That should fix it.
