Anybody have experience with this issue?

Sometimes on hot days (about 90 in MI today) during a longer drive in my 
Corvair, it will start backfiring and running sluggishly when I try to give 
it gas (accelerate) at speed (say 50 MPH).  Today I carefully backed off on 
the gas and it sort of cleared up.  When it cools off it seems to be fine.

I also have the hot starting problem that plagues a lot of our Corvairs.

Does this sound like I need a carburetor rebuild? Or maybe it is related to 
flooding somehow due to running hot?

Thanks,

Scott
