[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

This topic has been discussed here before and while some say that it did help, I am of the opinion it really did not cure the problem by installing an insulator. The reason I feel this way is because ethenol enriched fuel tends to evaporate quicker which generally has a cooling effect. The problem is it has a lower boiling point. Just as Richard mentions, there will be alignment issues but the thing I think that is the greatest issue is the stock carburetor is a heat sink from ambient air. After our last discussion on this, I got to thinking later that one thing that might help would find a damaged intake that has the heat-plate damaged and then remove it totally where the exhaust manifold cannot transfer heat as easily into the intake.

Just curious Steve, which fan are you using, are you using engine pans, and which carburetor are you using?
