Have you done a compression check?

It sounds like you have hot start issues, so a good place to start is a rotary-specific compression test, as mentioned, assuming you have not done it yet.

I'm assuming it starts again after it cools off?
That's classic bad compression.
If it's not starting at all, that's different.

Typical signs of low compression. I would suggest a compression test with a rotary compression tester. You want to make sure you have a good base to start with. If the engine has low compression then it's time for a rebuild or replacement
