I have a real %$#@& of a time starting the O-470-J when she is at all hot. When it is cold, starts like a champ. Today, upon landing after a quick turn trip to way too muggy Arkansas (delayed about 40 minutes to get the plane started, which involved a battery charger) it died when we turned off the runway and would not restart. Never had a CARBURETED plane do this kinda thing, but I am sure somebody else has!
It really acts like a thermal problem, but something is going on and any advice that would save time on the troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

P.S. When it died, it acted like it was out of gas, but it was not, in spite of my checkered past.
