Reply to "Help with warm start issues on my Speedster"

As always, you guys are the best and I so appreciate this forum.   My problem is exactly what all of you are describing and it has been happening since new.  If I run it a long time, really hot, go into a store or something for 15-20 minutes, that is the worst scenario.   Gas stop, takes a little cranking but catches faster.   Its managable or I wouldn't have waited a year to look into it, but still annoying and I assumed there was a fix. 

I'm going to start with seeing how I can insulate the fuel lines and go from there.   Hoping I can get a break from work to try it out today.   I'd really rather not go through the trouble of installing an electric pump, so hopefully I can improve it some with the simpler options.   I also like Sacto Mitch's point about openning up the engine to let it cool.  My engine compartment is sealed super tight, so it is crazy hot after I've been on a long drive.  I can just pretent I'm at a car show everywhere I park and open up so everyone can see this beautiful engine that Alan built!   

@edsnova when are we going for a drive again?   I want to get out before you actually sell the spyder.  This weekend is open for me.
