Sluggish when Hot??

Sluggish when Hot??
Okay, this might be easy for someone but for me its not. I have a Holley 600cfm 4160 carb on a rebuilt 350 motor. I can start cold and drive the car with no problems. But if I drive the car for a while, then turn it off, then crank it up again after 30 minutes or so of sitting there the motor kinda gags when I give it the gas. But after about 5 minutes its fine. This only happens after I start the already warmed up motor. Ive changed my power valve and that didnt help. I adjusted my rich/lean mix and this didnt help either. Ive also adjusted my timing. It almost seems like its getting to much gas after sitting there for a while after Ive already driven it. But if I waite until the car is cool to start it, its fine! This doesnt make any sense?

Electric Choke... and I've adjusted the choke to about a 10% choke when cool... to the point that I might as well take it off completely.

Also, I forgot to mention that every now and then, when Im driving and I decelerate and then accelerate quickly (like going around a slow driver), it will caugh up..... acts like its gagging for a sec, and then its fine.

Okay, I already have a spacer under the carb. But it does feel like its getting too much gas.... or not enough. Im going to try and adjust the air/fuel and see if it helps.
I'll have to check this in a few of weeks guys, my band is flying to Boston to record an album. I'll get this thread going again when... or if.... I return. Wish us luck!

okay, just got back about a week ago! I took some $$$$ and baught a 750 carb w/vacuum sec. This seemes to have solved my problems. I think I might have been starving my engine of gas. My car runs AWSOME now... the best it ever has run thanks to the carb swap. I guess this is let anyone know who might have had the same problems that I did with a small carb, maybe going to a larger carb will to the trick?
