Hot starting
I have a 1969 Imp engined Ginetta G 17 single seater running twin 40's, which I use soley for hillclimbs.
Starts first time from cold but when hot is a so and so to start on button, but fires up first time from a bump start. I know the battery is OK and anyway the same happens if I try a larger battery with jump leads. The carbs sit very closely on top of exhaust,the exhaust is heat wrapped and there is no room for an alloy plate etc. I do not want to chop the manifolds about as the car runs in historic class. Previous owners say they always had this problem,although when I had it on the rollers recently it started easily with min throttle. I assume it is hot or boiling fuel. Any ideas on how to start ?
