I would like to see tests/myth-busters run on the clothespins also. I don't see how it could really work, but we could be wrong. If it did magically work, it'd be interesting to see why. Maybe on rubber line pinching it does something?

I was under the impression that most people's hot start assumed vapor lock issues (lately) had ruled out line, pressure etc and had fuel in the carb, so that it could be seen squirting in when working the accelerator pumps?

If so, I wouldn't see how doing anything with the line would do much of anything in any way. The gas in the bowl should be enough to fire, i'd think we'd need to focus on the carb and forward in no-start condition. That's why i had kicked around the hot spot getting things TOO hot in the other thread.
