The fuel would have still evaporated for the cold start so I don’t think it’s that. I’d suggest it’s either the way you’re trying to start it or might be an electrical issues eg heat soak to the coil.

I had carb percolation on my 68 SBC. I fitted an Edelbrock 0.3 inch thick heat spacer gasket and its much better. Prior to that my car was hard to start after it was hot.
I could tell mine was percolating quite easily - drive somewhere to get it up to temperature / nice and hot. Then when you stop, immediately open the bonnet and you'll heat the fuel boiling in the carb. It sounds exactly like a coffee percolator. After I fitted my gasket, problem solved.
