If no sign of dampness, disconnect electric choke to eliminate that as a problem.

Good luck.

On a hot day after a Pantera has been run for a long time, it can actually boil the fuel in the carb after it is shut off. That boiling can overcome the needle valve on either the primary or secondary side. I know, because I have seen mine do it. An insulated carb spacer does help if you have the clearance for it. Rerouting the fuel line away from the top of the engine helps also.
