[T3] hot start difficulty

[Keith Park]

Hmmm, provided you have 7.7CR and the heads weren't cut, The other thing I
noticed with my 65 is there were no isolator blocks under the carbs, there
weren't supposed to be any from what Im told but if you don't have any you
might want to add them, it may reduce any vapor lock you may have.  My carbs
were squirting, it had spark, but at times when it was hot it just refused
to fire until it cooled down.
