I think the problem is heat radiation from the standing engine which causes the fuel to start boiling inside the bowls and flooding the throats.When there is no airflow from the scoop the heat goes up towards the webers and cook them

Better needle valves could help I guess.
Where can I get D&G Valves for the 48 IDA's?

I do not see many fuel return lines anywhere so I come to the conclusion that it is either not necessary or too complicated to fullfill.

I am also considering fabricating small heat shields to fit under the fuel bowl of the 48 IDA's.

Any suggestion regarding this flooding problem?
