Hello, I have been having hot start problems, seems to do it more when the weather is very hot, engine is a 1938 24 stud, has a bob drake rebuild kit in the fuel pump, I re kitted the carb not so long ago, it has a Pertronic ignition and corresponding coil, I had the same problem when I had the points in the distributor, the engine needs to be cranked over for a wile before it will fire but I found holding the throttle open it will fire up fairly quickly but it will want to die unless I keep the revs up but after a few seconds its fine, I took the top off the carb a few times and its always got a good amount of fuel in the carb bowl and there is no black smoke and its very economical, has a really good spark, its almost like its some kind of vapor lock, or is this just worn engine stuff? it docent use any oil but smokes out the breather, engine is in a 27 RPU with no bonnet temperature never goes over 170 in heavy traffic.
