Well, its absolutely heat related. No question about it. Coolant was new in
February or March. I checked the flow of coolant somewhat today by opening
the heater valve to make it was circulating from back there today and it
"felt" to have a good flow,
Any suggestions on insulation for the fuel pipe? Yes its the original tube
in the original location.

Possibly something heat related? When was the last time the coolant was
replaced and the system flushed?
Almost sounds like you're leaning out the mix (that's why the choke helps)
fuel might be getting too hot. Are the fuel lines in the original locations
(supposedly got pretty warm there)? I'd consider some sort of insulation
over the lines from the fuel pump to the carbs (have you thought about the
possibility that you might be close boiling the fuel in the bowls as it
picks up radiated heat from the engine and the manifold).
