Won't restart if engine is hot...

Did you change the push rod as well?

Hi I don’t think the mechanic did buy can check tomorrow! Could that be responsible by sounds of things?

I had this problem, which was intermittent but only happened after a long journey. Left the van for a couple of hours to cool down and the problem went away. Different garages tried everything to fix it but nothing solved the problem. So, I decided to get a brand new old stock carb fitted. After that, problem solved. I sourced the carb from Mecatechnic in France.

For the sake of a few quid and a 5 minute job, it’s got to be worth a try. You can compare the size against the old one to see if it’s worn at all.

If it’s possibly the carb - have a look at maybe getting a refurb kit and give it a good clean with some carb cleaner.

Mine does this as well, local garage are convic ed it’s a vapour lock. Essentially engine bay gets hot, you stop for ten minutes and the fuel in the lines stays where it is, over heats and turns into vapour. When it all cools down that problem vanishes
