Interesting problem :Banghead

Bought the backhoe 4 years ago, worked fine, always started right away every time.
All of a sudden it wouldn't start. Checked for fuel at the injectors, but none there.
Changed the mechanical fuel pump, and bled the air form the various locations.
Had to use quick start to get it stared for the first time.
I ran it for about 15 minutes, with no problems at all, purred like a kitten.
Turned it off, and started it again right away. Again no problem. Did that about 4 times in a row.
Again no problems.
Let it sit for a couple of hours, and tried to start it, it would not start, it just turned over.
Used quick start, and once it was running, went through the same start/stop procedures, and everything was fine.
Let it sit for a couple of hours, and problem came back.
It has a Bosch fuel injector with the 4 fuel lines coming out of the back, not the top
Anybody have any ideas what is happening
