John. I think you can try fitting a heat shield to help minimise this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John L Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Which carbs are running, if they are Stromberg CD's you may need to have the air compensators readjusted for hot running, if they are SU perhaps they need making slightly more rich, the hotter weather is making a difference with the E5 petrol.

John. Hi John, I would buy a book called 'Classic Engines, Modern Fuel' ISBN 978-1-787115-90-3,This book is a mine of information on current fuel and what to do, fitting a heat shield is definitely a way to go!
