[Tigers] Carb Fire Research

[CoolVT at aol.com]

My car (with hopped up 302) will slightly boil fuel into the carb  if the 
hood is left closed.  If the hood is propped open there is no  problem. So in 
my case allowing heat to escape when shutting down does  help.  Mark

I finally got around to watching this video. It was like watching paint  
dry. It could have been 30 seconds long, not 20 minutes. But anyway (it’s not  
Stu’s fault), it did eventually shows the gas boil at a low temperature.   I
’ll just throw these things out there:
 
1. No one ever mentions it, but there has to be some cooling effect of  
both from the air being drawn into the carburetor and the evaporation effect  
of the gas (like when you apply rubbing alcohol to your body).  Then  again, 
without cold air ducting..., maybe not.
