thanks for all the help. checked out the vent system yesterday. smoothed off
the nut which had corrosion and made sure system was venting. it started
perfectly and i drove it around until heated up to about 170-180 on gauge.
once shut off it will start smoothly if it sits for just a minute or two.
problem comes in when let to sit for 5-15 minutes in direct sun. if allowed
to sit longer, it starts smoothly, which tells me the heat has evaporated all
excess fuel. i have not noticed any fuel streaming out of manifolds, and
neither my moss catalog or manual show any kind of drains like on my bj8. i
do not understand how the fuel is getting into the engine if it has proper
venting to allow for expansion of the fuel. maybe a louvered hood is the
answer but she says she did not have this problem in the past so i am at a
loss to decipher the problem. oh well, back to the drawing board.
