My starter is high performance and spins the motor like a champ - hot or cold. Interesting theory about the gas line. In general, there seems to be a lot of heat under the hood. Perhaps some header tape would not be a bad idea.

a "percolation" problem. So, I put a heat sink gasket between the
carb and manifold. This did nothing to solve the problem. Anyone
ever experience this before? I sure could use some help!
