No ... as important as 'hands-on' learning is, I think I'll take you at your word that it is hot and badly placed ... I've felt the rubber hose, it's hot enough
your point is well takenWe've got the Phenolic spacer along with new braided lines (plus extra insulated wrap) that will sit 3" higher above the intake - rather than meandering around the engine bay - a new and smaller fuel filter that will also sit much higher along with the smaller diameter but taller air filter and a variety of heat shields and spacers to make my back pocket lighter - I don't think it's going to win any beauty awards, but if this stops the fuel from boiling, then that's one major gremlin eliminated.
Inspecting the carb more closely, it looks like the fuel was shooting out of the bleeds so high that while most of it was dropping into the bowls, some of it fell forward and collected along the edge of air filter pan and seeped down the outside of the carb onto the intake on the passenger side as well as on the drivers side ... the internal flooding was then causing the slow trickle through the secondary throttle shaft ... it's a theory - the analysis continues.
