[DeTomaso] No Idle Blues continued part 1

[B. Seib]

Engines that start good cold but poorly when hot often have a rich mixture
problem. (marginal flooding? etc.)

Here are responses to all of Jack's prolific answers, let me know if any
shed any light.
  My gas tank has been cleaned and sealed, therefore there should be no sock
or contaminants in the tank or lines.
  My filter is on the pressure side of the fuel line, I quote " A bomb"
appropriate while I sit here and listen to the fireworks on Independence
day.  I may consider moving that unit.
  The engine and ZF are grounded.  I just installed both grounds within the
last month so they should be working fine.
  That still levees me with an unsolved problem of the hot start, its just
plain strange.

one, a gear drive mini-starter needed, along with a good   ground wire
between engine (or ZF) and a clean paint-free spot on the subframe.   Using
both, our engine spins & fires smoking-hot with 10-1/2"1 C.R. FWIW- J
