Does sound like fuel vapourisation. With engine off there's no flow in the fuel lines, so residual heat from the engine vapourises the fuel trapped in the fuel lines / carbs. It's common on many 'classics'. I bought a heat shield (fits between the engine & the carbs) for my Triumph GT6 - solved the issue nicely.
Also getting it on my 4.2ltr Mk2, but only takes a few extra cranks as it sucks the new fuel through so not a real issue (also helped by having a louvered bonnet!!!).
