We all have the same problem with this "new" fuel... it boils at a lower temperature and floods the warm engine. A heat block plate, goes under carb, will help some. Longer carb studs are needed.
Cold starts can be helped with an electric fuel pump and a spring loaded switch so it doesn't run all the time, just for priming. The carb wants only 2-3 lbs of pressure.
