Thankyou in advance! > Mark Hendricks > Spitfire 1500 Mark- Are you missing the heat shield between the manifold/cat and the carb? Also, where is the fuel line routed? I has to get some good tubing and bent it to fit up on the firewall a little bit, instead of just over the bell housing. I routed it up and across all the way to the battery then forward to the carb. A quick cure it to pour cold beer (I hear only beer works) over the fuel line to get rid of the vapor lock real fast. Let us know what happens. -- Brian W.
