Back again. Still trying to understand this car.

Car starts easily when cold with choke. Runs great. Very difficult to start when the engine is warm. I don't use the choke when warm (tried it no help). It would usually take 3 or 4 tries before it starts recently had to wait 30 min before it would start. Once it does, it runs rough for a minute or two then fine.

PO removed the original airbox for foam filters. Also removed the Evap canister.

My thinking is that i am getting to much fuel vapor from the hot engine so it won't fire. I'm installing a new Evap can...and an oil catch can and breather. Trying to match the original venting. PO has the valve cover hose going directly to the crankcase instead of the airbox. With no vent for pressure I assume that cannot be good. Though I am not sure this will solve my problem.

I have also ordered some heat shields for the strombergs.

Any other ideas.

Thanks

Tom
