Find some ethanol free gas and try that, I bet the problem will go away. Problem has to do with heat, measure the temp under the hood. Might be getting too hot under there

Thanks, Richard.  I just read your reply.  I have not had a chance to test this out yet, but will.  BTW, my wife was a Barrett too.

I have been having this problem with my 31 deluxe roadster since I got it.  My car cranks well enough and runs good.  My problem is that after I drive it for a little while, like five or ten miles, and then turn it off for just a short time, when I crank it back up it backfires, spits back through the carb and will not take the gas, so it has very little power..  If I can keep it going for about three miles it straightens out and runs well again.  If I turn it off and it sits long enough to cool down well, it will run fine then.  I cleaned the filter screens in the carb out and this did not help.  I had the carb removed and taken apart and soaked in some carb cleaner and reassembled and put back on the car.  I thought that this would do the trick, but no.  It didn't help.  I think that it's vapor locking or purculating.  If it's doing that, what can I do about it?  If you have any idea about what's happening with my car,  please let me know and tell me what I may be able to do about it.  Thanks, Bobby Godwin, Valdosta, Ga.

Sounds like a bad condenser to me

I agree, try ethanol free gas.  Ethanol is a killer in these old engins. It can cause a number of problems.
