Hi Andrew,

If you have fuel pressure, it almost sounds like a coil getting hot and fai=
ling. =C2=A0Working again when it cools off. =C2=A0 What are you running fo=
r ignition? =C2=A0I=E2=80=99ve also had a pertronix do the same thing=E2=80=
=A6

A wise man once told me 90% of carb problems are ignition (and vice versa).=
 Haha. =C2=A0You know who you are=E2=80=A6=C2=A0 I could we way off base=E2=
=80=A6.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 My car ( 1300, 12.5:1 comp on Sunoco 110=

lap, so quick accels then braking to turn ) it goes very lean ( I have O2 s=

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 I=E2=80=99ve been working on it a lot, so know =

very similar. The needles (AAA) are the spring type, and the slides move fr=

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 After a minute or so it will fire back up, but =
only run enough to get back to the shop before going lean again. If I pull =
out the choke it will run, but is unstable.=20
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 I have wrapped headers and a heat shield around the ca=
rbs but they do still get hot.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Any ideas ?=C2=A0 Thinking to try some less volatile f=
uel as it seems heat related and the Sunoco evaporates so fast !
=C2=A0 =C2=A0=20

Thank you,=20
