If the pipes are getting that hot it might be running lean. Do you have access to a EGO gauge to check the mixture?

I now have another trouble. I cant get it to start if i leave it over night. have to spray some "start ya basturd" down the carbs then starts first go and runs. drove it 20 min to petrol station filled up and it started no trouble. when i leave it a few hours it will not start with out spraying the carbs.
Any sugestions what causes this or how to fix it? |

If you need to spray anything in the carb's it isn't getting enough fuel to kick the engine over. I take it once it kicks over it will keep running?

The fuel that is left in the carbies after the engine is switched off isn't causing a vapor lock issue is it? Cheers ToranaGuy

Yeah im wishing i stuck with the EFI. I thought the carby would be easier. I had the same EFI manifold and all the stuff and I sold it to buy the Carbs
 Anyways how would I find a vac lock and how would i fix it? |

Vapor lock is in the fuel lines. Next time it's left for a little while, pull the main fuel line off, wait a couple of seconds, then reattach it. Try & start it & see what happens.

Is there a lock off to prevent fuel flow when the ignition is off or engine not running? My mighty boy has a lock off on the carby, i had issues with it a while ago. Had a short in the wiring & it wouldn't open the fuel line up unless the engine was running, which is should when the ignition is on as well as when the engine is running....
