steve s,

I also just got finished reading the thread that you posted. I am one of those guys in the hot weather South who has never had a problem. I wish the guy with the two Model A's that has the problem and the one without the problem would try switching carbs between the cars, then switching fuel lines, etc., until the component causing the problem could be identified.

The condition of the inside of the fuel line, and/or the earlier 1 vent versus later 2 vent carbs would be my first two suspects as the cause of the condition. I sure would like to see an answer, even though I have never had the problem. Most of my driving is at sea level, but I have also driven my car in the mountains of NC and Virginia in hot weather without a problem. There has to be a plausible explanation, but I have no idea what it is.
