I have a 1965 sportwin model 9522c. Rebuilt the carb, put in new points, condensers, plugs and impeller. It starts and runs very well ubtil warm - then its very hard to restart? It also will not run with the cover on?? Running at a high idle as soon as the cover gets close to closing, it slows down and dies. The cover is a Johnson 9 1/2 but seems to fit perfectly and is not interfering with the choke. I can also have the same effect by covering my hand over the carb. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Sounds like you have an exhaust leak, letting exhaust inside of the cover displacing fresh air. Try squirting some oil in the carb and make it smoke and see if you can spot the exhaust leak.
