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?
