Reply to "Starter"

I also agree with Forest (and others).

if the engine is having a cranking issue at “hot”, it is not due to vapor lock.

it is due to reduced starter performance in the heat (increased resistance in the windings, as MJ said), reduced starter efficiency, or advanced timing (but JP said he is running 10* vs. 17*…

if the vapor lock theory was true, cars that ran out of gas wouldn’t crank, no matter how hot (or cool) they were!

It might also be because you cranked the heck out of your engine and now your battery has run down…
