Re: Little help with a "hot starter"

I have read many posts about this same topic, but when it happened to mine several years ago, I had a heat shield installed. Didn't know how well it would work, but six years later there are no issues. I have headers and am still running the same starter almost 8 years after buying my truck. I didn't have a problem until I replaced my rich-running Edelbrock 1406, with a new Edelbrock 1901 Q-Jet, which ran much leaner causing the hotter-running engine and the heat soak which made starting difficult.

I'd put the heat shield on it, first. I'd let the results of that dictate my next step.
