Can you restate exactly what the problem is or the symptom(s) and any evidence for your conclusion. This description sounds possibly like two completely different issues.
ding ding ding we have a winner. You have too much heat in the intake/carb.yes properly setting up an electric to fill the bowls for the next days restart is good but it's about solving the real problem. heat riser? lower temp 'stat? blocking the crossover. cooling system mods? PS I think a carb spacer(wood not alum) would be a major help. Would it be possible for you to run one if you went to a lower height drop base aircleaner?
Boy do I have a heat problem under the hood. I can not even touch the air cleaner within the first 30 minutes or it will blister my fingers.
I have no heat riser and I can not change the air cleaner (I have an Air Grabber hood), this means no spacer.
I haven't tried changing the stat or redoing the cooling system. I have a stock rad/clutch/fan/shroud. Keeps me under 210 on the road (including stop and go traffic). The under the hood temp is amazingly high, been that way since I've owned it.
Not sure what to do, I want to keep the stock look if possible but don't know how to bring the temp down under the hood.
