Hard to start when stopped

How close is the fuel line to somethin really hot? Could be tryin to vapor lock. Get a bunch of clothespins and clamp um on the fuel line all together in a row....maybe 6, 8...10 ...however many you can get bunched up. Might have to do it in more than one spot. This will absorb some of the heat from the fuel line. If the car starts after you do that, then you know the fuel line is heating up and getting the fuel too hot. You will need to reroute it accordingly.
