KE-Jet or LH=Jet injection? Not sure about the LH-Jet, but a leaking accumulator or bad check valve on the fuel pump will allow the residual pressure in the fuel main to drop too far and it will vapor lock hot. Need a fuel pressure guage to check, it should hold 2 bar or so indefinitely for the KE-Jet, some pressure (20 psi?) for the LH-Jet.
