Hard HOT starting

Sounds very much like the carb is getting hot and boiling over. A good 4 hole phenolic spacer should improve performance and solve your problem if you have room for one. Depending on which Carter pump you have you may need a regulator and or a vapor return line. A hot carb with residual line pressure of more that 6.5 psi is asking for what you are experiencing. What is your fuel pressure running and at shut down?

With my break in carb around 6-7 running. Don't have an inline gauge on this carb but don't see why that would change. Being a flat hood I really dont have a bunch of room. I went with the Holley heat shield because it was only 1/4" thick but covers the fuel bowls....hoping that helps.
