I'm running twin 40's, previously listed and agreed ok. When my engine is hot (thermostat open) the engine struggles and dies.
I thought could be crap in tank / filter but have checked and replaced with no change. As this happens only when hot could this be fuel evaporation due to manifolds being to hot on the head? |

I have the manifold fitted to head with only a gasket.
A quick search shows up spacers from 3 to 9mm. What should I be looking at? Too far and that may cause linkage issues on the csp bellcrank linkage. No return so I may get a knock on from the bowls but I'll rule out one thing at a time. These are an example https://www.dellorto.co.uk/shop/weber-carbu...nsulator-plate/ |

Last i checked (it's been a few years) they were still readily available from all the usual sources. I used them on my carbed 2056 and it made a big difference ...
