Re: Difficult to start when hot

[sean dietz <dietz_diggler@xxxxxxxxx>]

another easy check you should do is look to see if the fuel line is close to something allowing it to heat up, if it is, wad up a ball of tin foil around the line where its close to the manifold or whatever, to hold it away from it, give it a few minutes to cool back down and take it for another spin. this got us home on a long trip in a 50 bullet nose stude, didnt have a problem the rest of the trip, and then you can come up w/ a better looking way to adjust its routing if it turns out to be the problem.
