Re: hard to start when hot

It sounds like you're getting vapor lock in the fuel lines from too much heat getting to them after the engine is shut off. Try re-routing the lines away from heat sources (like exhaust manifolds). If they can't be easily moved, Thermo-Tec makes all sorts of heat protection add-ons, such as one called a Thermo-Sleeve which you can run wires or hoses through.
