Hard starting when hot

[my69FJ]

Like others have posted my 2F was hard to start when the motor was hot. I upgraded to 1guage battery connections and a jumper from the - connection to the block and now the LC starts much easier.

Are you asking a question in what you can do to help with hard, hot stops? Could be vapor lock...

 

[Unoman]

My first though was vapor lock. Do you have a heat shield in place or a carb fan?

 

[my69FJ]

No heat shield, more of a statement of what helped make starting easier. It has a webber 38/38 and a Man-A -Fre header. didn't think of vapor lock. The gas pedal has to be held about 1/2 way down during hot starting.

I think we hashed this out pretty well in another thread recently, I think we voted that it's not a true vapor lock if it's just the hard hot starts...

Pinhead can you toss a link to those threads you referred to? I've got a similar problem...

What is your hot start procedure? I used to have problems with mine till pinhead gave me a tip. As per the owners manual you pump 2-3 and hold the accelerator down till it catches.
