Try spark plug change first. Hot starts are often a problem with a dodgy plug.
Failing that, maybe valve adjustment? I haven't worked on a Shindaiwa before, so couldn't advice too much more.
is the fuel tank cap letting air in so its not vacuming, spark plug change have you checked for a spark when its hot, the ht lead could be faulty. is air filter clean.it sounds like a petrol problem on the carberetter or choke side maby needs a clean out
Your problem is the classic symptoms of the coil on it's way out, they start when cold but won't work when hot,had a look and they are not vry expensive and they are easy to replace. The coil is a little black box at the side of the flywheel and has the HT lead to the spark plug, if you are replacing it yourself make sure there is a fag paper gap between the coil and the flywheel.
Thanks everyone for your replies. Yes a garden machinery dealer suggested today that it is probably the ignition coil. Unfortunately I can't find find one online for a Shindwaiwa AH2510. Hunted high and low but nothing out there. I'll just have to make sure I never turn the damn thing off haha! I was wondering if it could make any other brand of coil fit? But that is something beyond my skills
