I'm thinking that a heat shield may be in order here, I have a similar
problem with my '58 TR3a. It starts and idles perfectly at operating temp
of 190f on the dial every time but after getting up to highway speeds, or
mountain roads and it gets 'goog-and-hot' but still under 200f, it will die
everytime I come to a stop.
Any suggestions from the list?
Thx,

Subject: [TR] Vapor Lock?
The TR3 starts right up cold. I drive till it's good and hot.
Then I shut it off. If I go to restart it right away it takes 20 seconds or
so of running the new Moss starter till she fires up.
It has been hot here in the northeast soooo I am thinking vapor lock.
Any ideas on how to cure it.
