<div dir="ltr">And yes, only a problem since engine rebuild. Will check on items you suggest. I plan an overhaul of carbs and will make sure there is a thick washer installed. These are ALL great suggestions, now at least my path for next steps in clear. This should keep me busy for a while.

</span>The twin-carb Type 3s can be harder to restart when warm. The automatic chokes take a while to cool down, and so the mixture isn't quite correct. Try gradually opening the throttle as you crank, and avoid pumping it, which squirts in extra fuel. The rebuilt engine should have thick spacers under the carbs to avoid engine heat boiling off the fuel as it cools. Check they're there.<br>
It sounds like the battery may be a bit marginal, too.<br>
I hope something here will help, but it's not a full list of reasons for warm-starting problems.<br>

</span><div><div class="h5">Hi, I am at my wit's end. I can't figure out why my car will start after<br>
sitting in the driveway, but after driving either around town or on<br>
freeway, when I stop the engine, it won't start again.<br>
<br>
It turns over more and more slowly without firing up until it won't turn<br>
over at all.<br>
<br>
Last night I took the sqbk out, same problem. Called tow truck, when it<br>
came about 40 min later, I tried it once more and it started.<br>
<br>
Not overheating. New fuel pump. Newly rebuilt engine.<br>
<br>
I have never had this problem before, drove my last rebuilt engine 30 years.<br>
<br>
Please help if you have had this sort of problem.<br>
<br>
Mara<br>
