Hi all
'65 200ci with autolite 1100;
Stalls after driving 10 -20 yards when the engine is hot if it's a hot day.
After driving and up to temperature on a hot day I'll turn the engine off, maybe leave it for a minute or 10 ... it'll start fine and pull off but after a few yards dies completely .. normal run of things it'll restart after 3 or 4 ish seconds of cranking and pull off .. then sometimes stall a second time.. after the second stall it's always fine!
Could this be vapour lock or something else? .. I've sheathed my fuel pipe from the front of the engine right up to the carb in fairly thick rubber gas/petrol type pipe to no advantage .. any ideas?
Cheers!
