1982 Coupe:Hot Start Issues

[rob hod]

  I see, it does make it sound more like something in the residual
pressure/leakdown/vapour lock direction eh?

 I'd still say its worth disconnecting the CSV and running it around for say
a week like that. Or maybe renew the (is it the thermotime?) sensor that
provides temperature input. If you were to imagine the sensor drifiting out
of spec, then it would know to provide plenty of CSV for a cold start, none
at all for a hot start, and just maybe too much for an engine that was last
run 3 hours ago! Its a test that costs nothing to try..

 Cheers,

rob
