Hi List
I am using my 63 Tr4 as a daily driver for the last two weeks. The weather
up here in the St. Paul area is very hot presently, and that (I think) made
me encounter a problem that I have not experienced so far.
When the engine is hot (after about 15 miles at 35mm RPM) the engine starts
to sputter (missing ignitions) when exhilarated ever so slightly. The
sputtering gets stronger under heavier exhilaration. It happens only in
the afternoon (temps around 90), no problem in the morning with temps
around 65 - 70. It is gone after the car sits for a few hours and has a
chance to cool off! What is going on? Do I have some kind of vapor lock?
Any ideas how to fix this?
As always, any helpful suggestions are very much appreciated!
