More specifically, the engine is not lean, I have good smoke all down the straight and when I enter the pit lane it idles properly for ever. Therefore, I believe that temperature is not an issue. I have seen other engines starting easily much hotter than that.
The engine is very competitive and still the piston locks on the upper side of the sleeve. The same thing happened since day 1.
That is why I am going crazy.
Thanks again
When the engine is hot; Upon restart the fresh itemized fuel charge is actually vaporized before it gets thru the engine due too excessive heat. I would do like the previous post said. I pour a small amount of fuel on the base of the carb just below the air filter neck. This normally cools the carb enough to start a hot engine.
Pass you soon...
