Engine Starts, Runs, Stops then Won't Start 444-544

So I rebuilt the fuel pump last night and she cranked right up. I only ran it for a minute because it was 1 AM and didn't want to wake up the kids. :)
Today I ran her for about 10 minutes in the garage, tweaked the dizzy until she was purring like a kitten, then shut her down. I tried starting her back up again and NO GO. The battery's kind of weak but she normally starts up quickly when cold.
I'm seriously new to such troubleshooting, but am guessing it has something to do with heat? Maybe this is normal? Any tips or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
