[Healeys] Rough running

[Richard Collins]

Vapor lock;
Mine starts at 195 on the gauge during warm weather with heat sink to 200+ when shut down to cool. About 20 minutes and it runs again.
I wrapped fuel lines but haven’t installed the heat shield I’ve had for many years.
Hence I rarely drive it in mid summer here in KY

Regards,

Keith,

Did you happen to feel the coil after it acted up?  if it is that, it will be very hot, so be careful to avoid burning your hand.

Two days ago I took the BJ8 out for its every-four-month exercise.  Just as before it ran beautifully for the first 8 or so miles then began to develop a miss.  Temp gauge around 180 and ambient temp 80-82 F.  When I stopped for some photo taking it would not restart (as I was afraid it would).  Temp gauge above 220.  After a 20 minute cooling off and allowing the temp to drop below 200 it reluctantly restarted, still with a miss, and I hurried on home.
Any thoughts on what is the cause of this behavior?
