John, your problem does not sound like heat related fuel issues. It sounds more like the ambient temp conditions are requiring a retune on your carb. Either that, or your fuel bowl level is too high or you have a stuck float. It really sounds like you need the carb tuned correctly to me.

FWIW, I have a MR intake, metal turkey pan, Lemans Holley carb, steel fuel log, steel fuel lines, and just about every other poor scenario you could have on a motor and I have no problems with heat related carb issues.
