1975 Mercedes 230 Gasser not turning over when hot

Hey guys,
I have really been enjoying my w115 with the exception of one extremely strange issue I have been having. About 1/4 times I try to start it after I have driven it any real distance the car will refuse to turn over. The fuel pump comes on and all seems normal, though. Typically I can resolve this by waiting or, strangely, shaking the car. I learned this when it started after I closed the hood one day. I have yet to have been unable to get it started, but I'm afraid this embarrassment may turn into a problem. I haven't ruled out NSS yet, although that doesn't seem to explain it due to the fact it will always start cold in any position and don't believe it's the starter either, which was rebuilt not long before I bought the car. Any ideas?
thanks!
