No - the point is, it is not overheating, just difficult to start after
sitting on a hot day.

If it is overheating with the shroud - removing it will make it worse. You
need the air flow directed through the radiator to cool the water that flows
through the engine.

I still find my TR3 difficult to start after driving on a hot day. The idea
that a shroud may be restricting air flow to the rest of the engine bay is
intriguing. What is the consensus of the list as to the value of a shroud?
How many people use them versus not?

Speaking of catching up...
Get some dryer duct tubing and make a guide to vent some air from the
shroud to the carburetter bowls. Then drive somewhere where it's hot.
Go inside, have a 15-minute beer. Then come back out and see if it starts.
