Re: hot starting & fuel?

["Stephen Andrachek" <s.andrachek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If he has a Carter carb he needs a Carter fuel pump, probably 5/16" lines 
with about 6 lbs. of pressure.  Or a stock MOPAR equilevant.  He is getting 
too much heat under his hood when his motor is running.  His fuel probably 
is boiling, giving him "vapor lock".

Either that shield or a combo of a better cooling system too should help get 
rid of the problem.  Or maybe the best Carter fuel pump set up for 230 
gallons per hour at Jeg's or most anywhere on the cheap for what it is and 
the shield will do it.  Go the cheapst way first.  Maybe 3/8 line from at 
least your fuel pump to your carb with the better fuel pump.  Maybe the carb 
needs tuned.  Could be lots of things and people have offered all good 
solutions.  Sooner or later one will work, if it hasn't already.

Subject: hot starting & fuel?


I'm starting a new subject topic. Jacob had asked about delayed starting 
when his 1964 Chrysler engine is hot.

Modern "gas" is designed with fuel injected systems in mind.

I'm wondering if that fuel pump heat shield Don, Nick and Rich have reported 
on is something Jacob should consider?

Thanks,
Gary H.
