Well, here are the issues with the

Its pretty well know that they are "Bellows burners" as even
with a little
clearance between the muffler and bellows there is NO heat shield
like the
stock mufflers have so the heat is exposed right to the
bellows.
Thanks for the info. This would help explain why it is getting so hot in
the engine compartment post-shutoff, and hence the vaporization in the
pump/lines. I love the clearance of this exhaust after years of dragging
glass packs in and out of driveways, so I think I'm going to have to live
with the hard-start-when-hot syndrome.
