i know the feeling, sounds similar to mine which will only start if i park it facing downwards as there's air getting into system somewhere, if i park facing upwards the fuel runs back to the tank.
have you tried pumping the fuel with the hand plunger? is the fuel filter securely fitted? if the filter isnt secure with rubber sealing rings air can get into the system....
