Timing May be  too far advanced. Try retarding the timing. Or the mechanical timing is coming in too fast

X2 on the timing... but, it could also be "hot soak" starter syndrome.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

You may also want to make sure your alternator is charging.   You can check the voltage with a multimeter before you start it and then while its running touch the probes to the battery terminals and it should read 13.5-14.5.
