450 SL starting problem hot

I have a 76 450 SL it starts fine cold and runs great, after it is warmed up and shut off it will not restart. It almost acts like a vapor lock. The only way I can get it to run is to hold down the throttle body piston with a screw driver and it will idle. It seems to be more frequent in hotter weather. Any ideas were to start would be appreciated.

Subframe mounts 1988-560SL

Just received the subframe mount replacement kit. As I am doing a pre-job review of the instructions and looking under the car with front wheels removed - I am concerned with the transmission cooling lines attached to the radiator. Should I detach these lines prior to lowering the subframe??? Looks like they may get hung up if I don't. Has anyone experienced this when doing this job? (The transmission lines are not mentioned in the instruction book) I am looking forward to doing this job myself and hope to get all my ducks in a row prior turning the wrenches.
