leaky injectors is my guess. its got gas leaked down into the manifold by the time you start it in morning or whenever your first start of the day is.
so the engine has to run super rich for a while. then all is well and its runnin normal.
i would say, if you have time. try leaving it sit overnight sometime. then in the morning. take the airfilter off and open up the throttle bores. smell gas? if so prop the gas pedal down for bout 10 minutes, then try to start it. that will allow the gas to fume out of the manifold because the bores will be open.
