Hello all,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I just wanted to pick people's brains for common causes of hot starting issues.
The car is a 1934 Box Saloon and it is very reluctant to restart when still hot, such as in a fuel station. It's not been fitted with a starter motor for some years after the last one went up in smoke and I never felt the need to refit a working one, so I can possibly rule out a voltage drop from the motor? It normally bump starts quite happily (fortunately my local fuel station is on a slope), and generally starts easily from cold on the handle.
I think it's less likely to be a fuel vaporisation issue as it does it year round and the exhaust has some heat shielding.
So the question is what obvious things should I be looking at? I'd slightly assume it's ignition related?
Thanks in advance!
