Hot Fuel Lines

A few more answers to some of the questions that have come up. Yes the tank is vented with a 1/2" aluminum line. The dark marks around the trans mount is not the paint being cooked but that was fom when I first started the engine and did not have any exhaust behind the headers. I will be repainting that area in the next few weeks but I dont think that will return unless I run no pipes again. As for running a plate under the carb I have added a kool keepers insulator a few weeks ago when I first found this issue. Next would be the fuel percolating and yes I believe that could be possible. I did hit the bowls with the infra red thermometer and the front bowl was at 151* while hte back was at 145* and that was with the insulator on. The carb is a Sean Murphy built carb, 750 reworked to flow at 830* cfm if I rememeber correctly.
So tonight I plan on installing the wrap around the lines and I will start looking for someone that sells a guarding to cover the lines as well. I may have to try to make a guard cover!
I will keep you updated on what I find.
Thanks Rod
