[Bricklin] boiling fuel in carburetor

[bricklin0095 at aol.com]

Sounds like the heat flap in your exhaust manifold has stuck closed ( Called a
heat riser valve)?
It has a counterweight on the end of the shaft that should flip back and forth
with your fingertip.
I would check this first..
If it is stuck, remove it and remove the butterfly part and just reinstall
it.

Hi....  came back from a drive in Colorado Springs this morning, and the
engine was intermittently missing on the way back. I checked the air
filter/carburetor, and noticed the fuel in the carburetor was boiling.
Outside temperature was about 65 degrees, and I was driving at a  moderate
speed (under 60 mph).  I changed or touched nothing on the car since its
last run, when I had no problems. The engine temperature was below 190
degrees.

Have any of you experienced that problem?
