[Tigers] Carb Fire Continued

Michael King thinks there's a history of the stock carbs lighting things up
on hot restarts.  Does anyone else have any history?

Does anyone know what the mechanism might be?  I know the accelerator pump
is OK, nothing dripping there.  The only other logical explanation is fuel
being forced out the bowl vent.  I'll look for traces when I take the
photos tonight.  Could the float valve  works have occasional issues?  A
sinking float?  Could fuel be boiling from the heat soak when its shut
off?  Or when fuel hits the hot bowl when the pump starts?  Any other
theories?
