I have had a continual hot start issue with my carb fed Continental. I have had a good service but that hasn’t solved it. I start it in the morning and drive for 30 mins(runs well) stop, park it up and then go to re start it a few minutes later and it won’t start. If I leave it for 30mins it starts again no problem.

Any kind soul got any ideas? My spanner monkey is looking blank.

Could it be vapour lock? Check fuel lines are not running too close to manifold etc and that if there's any insulation, it's all good.
