mkiv zodiac 1969

roger0650

my zodiac starts easy when cold but when hot, will not start! have been told that the v6 engine heat evaporates the petrol when stationary and that is why it will not start, i have to wait half an hour for car to cool down before it will start again.
Any ideas would be welcome please!

Hello,
isolate the fuelline above the engine against heat (heat isolating hose), install a vapor bubble separator (as sierra v6 uses) in the fuel line in front of the carburator. I use an additional engine oil-cooler.

Good luck!
