Hi and welcome to the forum Sue

could be any number of things , most likely would be that you are not operating the cold start correctly or the none return valve is allowing fuel to "drop back" to the tank whilst it is stood, then taking a while to build pressure back up again as you crank the engine to start.

I'm sure you'll find the answer somewhere here, maybe worth looking in the technical sections.
