Thanks for the reply Steve. That is correct that I'm stalling while the engine is hot. I was thinking that it's flooding because of my situation yesterday where I could only get the engine started with the accelerator to the floor. The fuel pump is a type 3 replacement. I have not had the valves set recently. Is this something I can do myself? Thanks for the rest of the suggestions about what to check.
