ok this has been a nuisance to me and i'm fed up with it.

after running my car for awhile at operating temp and shutting it off, when i start it back up, and get on it even like 2 minutes later, around 4g's it seems like it starves for fuel, and the car starts bucking. i have a edelbrock 600 cfm with electric choke and stock intake with a carter fuel pump. it's seems like a heat related problem, but what is it? i thought maybe it was from the fuel line getting hot since there wasn't any cool fuel flowing through and that it just takes a while to cool down, but i'm not sure. i was told it could be the choke but i dont know. it never does it when it's cooler only after i shut it off.

i can mess with pretty well anything under my hood except my carburetor. i plan to get taught soon. but i'm a little leary on touching it. i had it set up by my dad's friend who is a mechanic.

this is very frustrating and i wpuld really like to take care of this unless it is just a carb related problem. i thought of maybe finding some sort of insulator tape for the fuel line, but i figured i ask you guys for help before i end up possibly wasting time and money. i apprecaite any help you guys can give me.

Next time it does that take off the air cleaner and see if the choke is closed. That could be your problem.

hey thanks for the help ill try that out if it does it again, the weather sucks right now so ill see tomorrow what happens. i fixed my home made throttle linkage today so i have full throttle now, i was missing a 1/4" of travel. i neglected to mention that yesterday, and i get that deeep tone now cuz the secondaries are now opening up like they should and the car is a lot faster. i didn't really notice it today on restart but like i said i will see tomorrow.

thanks
