Hows the hot restart on big blocks?
Hey guys.
I'm wondering how I can improve my hot restarts on my 5.2cc. 25% nitro, OS R5 plug, NiCd glow heater, roto start, 2 needle carb.
I have the engine tuned very well, awesome top end, idles for ages, doesn't bog down, but I am really struggling to get it started when its hot. Basically its go have a quick smoke then try again. Its not vapour lock as I end up flooding the engine. I'm just missing that magic window when it first shuts off getting in their and firing it back up straight away again.
Prehaps the problem lies with how its shutting down? Usually the only time it shuts down is after a roll over, obviously air in the line that doesn't clear and makes it to the carb?
Rambling on a bit here...
1) How can I improve my hot restarts?
2) Any tips on how to keep air in the fuel line to a minimum after a roll over?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
