[Healeys] Confusing fuel starvation--BJ8

[Richard Collins]

My BN 7 has a similar issue in the summer (not in other seasons) because the fuel is vaporizing before it gets to the carbs. Check to be sure your fuel Iine isn't too close to a high heat source like a Muffler or exhaust manifold...

Regards,
Richard C
