1. I suspect petcock or its vacuum supply. Need to measure things to rule that out.

2. Also have you tried starting with gas-cap open? Cap vent-mod isn't removing screw, but entirely removing one-way valves inside gas-cap.

3. Test for spark as well when you have hot-start issue.
The petcock is OEM new and I confirmed fuel is flowing with vacuum, just haven't actually measured the pressure. I'll try restarting with the cap open, simple enough check.

I had already planned to test the coils for spark when hot today. Next step will be to double check valve clearances tomorrow to see if perhaps I left them too tight and they're not opening enough when everything is hot and expanded.

Thanks for your suggestions!
