[TR] TR4 Engine won't restart when hot

[Will Daehler]

I'm at wits end, this problem happened at first after a short 10 minute
jaunt to the grocery store. After letting the car sit for an hour, the
engine restarted fine. But I had been served the warning, and thought it
was time to do the standard maintenance tune up operations. I replaced the
coil, the condenser, the points, adjusted the valve lash. Installed new
distributor cap, and all new wires, new spark plugs, and my new rotor is
the red type . My carburetors are rebuilt and freshly cleaned. I'm using SU
dash pot oil, and I'm following the wisdom of the list and the manuals
everywhere I can.
My very last no-start event, I pulled that caps off the float bowls, and
confirmed that I had gas in both, and that the floats were floating.

So when the engine is running, it runs well and the car goes likes stink. I
was up to 88 miles per hour last month. But stop the car for a minute, and
it's nearly impossible to restart unless I wait an hour and a half. Its
like my gasoline is made from water, and won't ignite. I have the Ted
Schumacher gear reduction starter motor and a strong battery, I'm not
limited by the number of cranks. It just won't fire!!!!

What can I check? What can I do? Looking for suggestions.

National VTR is two weeks, and it's going to be embarrassing.
My gut feel is that my carbs are set way too rich.
