My car runs really well. Cold starts great. Has phenolic spacers etc but after I shut it off I have to have the throttles open at least half way and crank for 5-10 seconds to start. If I don't open the throttles then it will sound like timing is to advanced but clearly is not and it will stumble until it clears out.It has to be some excessive fuel getting down the throats somehow? What to check? Floats sticking?

Most likely fuel is still over-boiling. Despite the phenolic spacers

That is strange still did it this morning on my run over to cover the boat. Never even got to 180 degrees on the drive there and it was only about 72 this morning.

So what are my options?

1) Start by turning the ignition on and wait about 20 seconds (time for the fuel pump to fill the float bowels), 2) press the accelerator pedal slowly to the floor (accelerator pumps squirt fuel down the intake) then release it, 3) engage the starter motor, 4) then press the accelerator (1/3rd) after the motor is turning over. Works for me!

For hot engine? I have zero issues cold. The engine is clearly flooding in a hot start situation. I believe it's perculation or a float sticking, needle and seat. But with the carbs being 1000k fresh for performance oriented I need to zero in on which one I should concentrate on.
