Re: Hard Starting when warm on a 1940 120 Convertable

Just wondering if after you shut the motor off the heat soak is causing the fuel to boil a bit and basically "flooding" the engine, causing the hard starting issue you are seeing.

I'm not a carb expert by any means, so take a look in the service manual or numerous carb manuals that are here on the website.

Also do you have the correct insulators under the carb and all (if any) factory heat shields in place?

I am sure someone more familiar with the Pre-War setups should be along shortly to help you.
