Help!
I'm looking for some advice on how to resolve this recent quirk.

First, I've got an inline conversion. A Eurospec. digifont ignition.

The Problem:
NO hot start. After running strong for a while, when I stop in the heat of
the afternoon it won't restart. I does crank, sometimes relunctantly, it
does 'catch' but then dies usually just when you get out of the parking lot
and onto the street! it does not restart until it sits for a while to 'cool
off' then all is grand!

History:
I recently replaced the voltage regulator and the primary battery. prior to
that there was a intermittent short that caused the engine to quit and fried
the ignition switch. That was fixed but the hot start problem remains.

thoughts...
Due to its occaisional relunctant to crank, Is the starter going?
Is the ECU going?... Is my mind going?

Help
