Charlie,

Do you have the thick insulators under the carbs or just a thin gasket?

Greetings virtual corvair guru's.  I am having a problem with my 1964 coupe. (twin carb, power 
glide, no frills.)  After a long hot run, and a 5 minute hot soak, (shut down), the car will 
start up and run fine for about 1/4 mile and than act like it's running out of gas.  nothing 
will get it back on the road except a complete cool down (hours) and then after a long crank, 
(filling the carbs ???) it runs fine.

I have tried all the basics, new fuel pump, wrap the fuel lines, reset and raised float levels, 
blown back into the tank to clear the "sock" filter in tank, even checked the fuel pump push 
rod and spring. all seem ok... This is not a complicated fuel system, any ideas on what I can 
be missing???  Thanks in advance for any help from you guys.  -charlie holthausen, steamboat,
