Re: Hot Start Problem, 1980 ZS carb

I have another possibility for your not starting when hot.  

Do you have the original electronic ignition?  
Is it the style that has the module attached to the distributor?

If you answer yes to both of these questions then there is the possibility 
that the module gets overheated and then quits working.  This is what 
happened to me in my '78... after the engine was good & warm (45 min drives) 
I would be cruising along and the car would just quit.  If I sat on the side 
of the road for about 20 minutes - trying the whole time to find the problem 
with by carb.  The car would have cooled off enough to start.  After a couple 
of weeks driving like this I finally broke down and took it to a mechanic.  
The solution was to put a petronix module in it.  this cured the not starting 
when hot problem.
