<DIV class=gmail_default>Michael King thinks there's a history of the stock
carbs lighting things up on hot restarts. Does anyone else have any
history?</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default>Does anyone know what the mechanism might be? I
know the accelerator pump is OK, nothing dripping there. The only other
logical explanation is fuel being forced out the bowl vent. I'll look
for traces when I take the photos tonight. Could the float valve
works have occasional issues? A sinking float? Could fuel be
boiling from the heat soak when its shut off? Or when fuel hits the hot
bowl when the pump starts? Any other theories?</DIV>
