Don’t die EVO
hello everyone. I will tell you my problem, because there are few people who can help me except you. I have a 1996 fat boy with a 1999 evo engine. TM42 carburetor. always started without problems, never failed anywhere. but recently after 30 minutes of driving in 95 degree hot weather, I stopped to buy myself some water. after he got on the motorcycle and could no longer start the engine. the battery is new, the starter turns. but it won't start. like he's missing something. after 20-30 minutes pass, the motorcycle starts without any problems. can not understand, not difficult to repair, difficult to diagnose. and I don’t really want to change everything using the pumpkin method. at first I thought maybe the ignition, bought it, changed it. the problem remains the same. the other day I took off the carburetor, took out the main jet and other parts from it, washed everything with a cleaner, cleaned everything. By the way, there was some dirt at the bottom of the carburetor, but not much. put it back on, drove for 30 minutes and died again. again waited 15-20 minutes and started up again. I do not know what to sin? just ordered ignition coil and spark lug and spark lug wires. If that doesn't help, I'll go crazy. I'm thinking, maybe the air cleaner is already clogged, I never cleaned it, maybe the tank cap is not ventilated? Could the strainer in the tank be clogged? can i change the fuel lines? I do not know what to do ? it’s just amazing to me why after it cools down it starts up, I can’t understand (((nerves are already failing .... help solve the problem

^ ^^^ Plus one... especially if Heat related.. also Coil can fail when very Hot..
Something from the old Days when everyone had Kick Only... We always put the Choke on Full if it was hot outside, especially if the bike had not sat very long, at least for a kick or two..
Raw Gas cools the engine.. makes everything Better!!!!

A piece of tank liner releasing and getting sucked towards fuel demand side could block fuel flow.
Bike stops when fuel does not flow and then eventually tank liner piece later floats away and bike is able to start...
A non-vented fuel cap on a carb bike could cause similar but removing fuel cap would allow bike to start..
Why did you change CAM sensor? was it melted??
When you changed the CAM sensor....Did you place it in the same exact position in order to not alter timing?
