Re: Hot Restart Problem on 23rd Series

I believe the heat shields were included on all of the Customs (356). I'm not sure about the Supers or Eights. I have seen those both ways. Even if they were not original, they seem to help with the hot start problem with the newer formulated fuel. My 49 super (327) has one as does my '47 custom (356).
I don't use an electric pump on my '49. But my '47 has one that I have disconnected. I left it so I could reconnect it if I need it. So far, I haven't reconnected it.
