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? |

after having properly driven the car the other day on a 6 mile loop i just about limped back onto the drive.
i have the spacers fitted at the bottom of the manifolds but i think it's not enough and i still have the same problem. the car runs like a dream when cold and warming up but the driven heat seems too much. i'm going to fit a return pipe back to the tank and hopefully that will cure the issue. now i need to look at how to fit (in a tidy way) the return pipes in the engine bay. |
