follow up question to warm starting-heat shield

Does anyone think my earlier post related to warm starts after sitting can caused by the lack of a heat sheild under the carb? In hot weather i know there is a lot of heat that warms the carb after sitting for a while. Anyone else had this problem?

I have had the same problem in the past. I have a weber carb setup and pacesetter header. The heat from the header would cause vapor lock in hot weather if the car sat at idle for too long. I bought header insulation and wrapped the header. Solved my problem.

thanks I think Im going to try this.

by the way where did you get your insulation?

Ordered from Summit Racing.

Hello,
I have a hard start problem warm after about a hour of driving my 76 mgb roadster. It has a new webber 32/36 dgev carb electric choke works fine opens fully when warm. I notice very hot around carb manifold area and I installed header wrap and heat shield my own desighn. Timing set at 13degrees 1500 rpm vacuum line disconnected. Also new pertronics Dist,coil, wires and new plugs. Could I have a fuel boiling problem if so ,can I adjust float level to correct it? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
thanks, aldow3
