Very true Rick,
We colonials have lot of experience with fuel vaporisation, temps of 45C + (in
the shade) are all too common.
In my opinion one of the Rotax 91's (carburettor variants), very few, design
anomalies,
is the routing of fuel lines over the top of the engine. Not usually
a problem in flight, due to plenty of fuel/ air movement BUT definitely
something
that requires good management, after engine shut down, subsequent start up,
taxi, run up, take off & climb out on a hot day.
Have no modifications (other than insulating/lagging for partial assistance) to
suggest - its all about awareness & management.
