Hotter weather ?? less power for the same amount of fuel, or, more fuel for the same amount of power ?

Dunno, just a thought.

Is the old 3b starting to idle a little higher than normal?

It may be a leaky governor diaphragm letting more fuel through than it should.

But start with the simple things first, like dirty air filter or perhaps a leaky primer pump?
