Ever since getting kooks 2" headers, I have been having this hot start issue. Got a new starter after I cooked the first one, and had the shop install a thermal blanket and a custom fabbed aluminum heat shield. It helped, but it still felt like it lugged out a bit after getting gas or sitting a bit. Saw this thread and stuck one of those 1/0 gauge wires from the boat wire place onto my sound tube mount as it was removed with mods done. The difference was noticable even on cold starts. Thanks for sharing this knowledge, it sure is saving me some serious pucker factor on warm starts after getting gas!
