I have a few problems with the starting of my car when hot.
The car runs fine when moving but after about an hour of slow moving
or if the engine is switched off it will not start again for about 5 mins and
will occasionally backfire.
I will list a few details: The car has new braided fuel lines- there is plenty of
fuel in the float chamber when it wont start- the temp gauge never goes
over 90 degrees-Fuel is being squirted in when it won't start (i can see it when i open the throttle)-the car has new leads (although much longer than they should be)- it does not have a carb fan fitted-there is a spark at the coil when it won't start-all cooling sytem components are new-once it has restarted it will miss through the rev range. I origanlly thought it could be
fuel vapourisation but I am now wondering if it could be the weak ht due to
the length of the ht leads. Any ideas? cheers
