Hard to start when hot

  • My HiPo with a high rise manifold, holley carb and electric choke, starts fine when cold after pumping pedal one or two times. Hot starting is another story. Sometimes, it will start fine when hot, but most of the time, it just turns over as if it's not getting fuel. At times, I've pumped pedal enough times when I can smell gas. Other times, numerous pumping of the pedal, will cause it to start. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • My 67 Shelby with a 289 HiPo and the big 715 Holley

    does the same if I touch the gas pedal. If I just keep

    my foot from the pedal it starts immediately. Slightest touch

    and I must crank it with the pedal to the floor for a while.
