My Rover P4 80 has a solex carburettor and after a run out and then parked up I think the heat from the exhaust manifold is evaporating the fuel in the carburettor because the next morning the car won't start, when I remove the carb top the carb bowl is dry, if I remove the air filter pipe from the top of the carb pure petrol down the carb it stars first time, my question is should this carb have a heat shield, was one fitted when the car was built, I have made & fitted one & it seems to have solved the problem, but can any P4 80 owners tell me if they have had the problem & do they have a heat shield fitted.
Thanks for any reply's
