I'd do whatever it takes to keep the system cool. I have a heat shield on my TR3 street/race car and I attached stick-on heat protector matting, with a couple rivets for extra hold, on the exhaust side of the ARE heat shield for added protection. It works great. The heat difference is huge. <br>
My fuel line is routed away from the engine and along the inner fender. I think it's good to not have fuel lines near hot exhaust. A small leak could really spoil things. <br>

I usually keep the throttle wide open when trying to start but lately that does not seem to make a difference. I usually have a strong smell of gas after cranking for a while. I have installed one of the carb heat shields but also no help. I assume it has to do with the carbs getting to hot above the exhaust manifolds, but I have spoken to others and they do not have this problem. This has been going on for years and would love any input to possible fixes.<br>
