I have a hot running issue with my 1973 GT6 that has been getting worse over the past 50 or so miles. Car starts and runs fine but when it gets right up to temperature it starts to lose power and eventually stalls. After a two or three minutes wait the car will start back up again, run for another few minutes and then lose power and stall out again. Other than replacing the distributor, I have eliminated ignition as the source of the problem by swapping out old components for known good ones. I am left thinking that this is a fuel related problem. I have a new fuel pump that I can try at some point. I have rebuilt plain CD carburetors (many years ago now) but have never pulled CDSEV carburetors apart. I have a Haynes manual to hand and feel confident that, with care and patience, I can strip them down and rebuild them. However, I was hoping someone might have some magic insight about a potential source of the problem that will have a quicker or less dramatic solution. Any thoughts? Sticking temperature compensator? Damaged diaphragm? Mark
