My BG does the same thing now that the weather has turned hot.

This is definitely a heat soak problem. I have the stainless wrapped lines, metal fuel filter sitting atop one of the valve covers and a drop base 14 inch air cleaner.

As soon as I get a couple of miles on after hot restart, things cool down and it runs normally. But after sitting in the sun, restart acts like it is loading up.

I adjusted the floats down a bit and wrapped the fuel filter to insulate it. Problem got better. Now I will try another air cleaner and see if that helps. Spacer is next along with rubber fuel lines.
