Russ,
Here's something to check. It could be vapor lock caused by the fuel line
being too close to the radiator or upper hose. Everything fine until you
stop, then the lack of airflow causes the heat to sink into the fuel line and
the fuel gets vaporized.
Had a similar problem with mine and moved the fuel hose about 4 inches away
from the thermostat housing and it went away.
