Sounds like the standard, factory correct Healey vapor lock. When the engin=
e is turned off residual heat soaks out of the engine and boils the fuel in=
the float bowls. Try cooling the float bowls with a spray of water or a we=
t rag. If that solves it you know the problem, although not necessarily the=
solution.

Subject: [Healeys] Rough running
Two days ago I took the BJ8 out for its every-four-month exercise. Just as=
before it ran beautifully for the first 8 or so miles then began to develo=
p a miss. Temp gauge around 180 and ambient temp 80-82 F. When I stopped =
for some photo taking it would not restart (as I was afraid it would). Tem=
p gauge above 220. After a 20 minute cooling off and allowing the temp to =
drop below 200 it reluctantly restarted, still with a miss, and I hurried o=
n home.
Any thoughts on what is the cause of this behavior?
