Have the carb looked at. I'd be willing to bet that's where your issue is originating from.

I was thinking over heat, but guess not. How's start up? Maybe leak?

Edit: nevermind, you said when its hot.

the car start on first try now it's just when it get's warm it shut off, and also it's running way to rich the fumes are terrible it burns my eyes, when the car turns off i get little white smoke coming out the carb. i'm going to get it rejetted, i hope that fixes my problem. and now i could finally drive my wagon after 4 1/2 months.
