Default Problem with hot start

I have a 85 rx7 with a 12a that starts up cold with no issues at all. I can drive it around for 30 minutes to an hours, but when I shut it down and attempt to restart, no luck. It sounds as if the engine is sluggish turning over and does not attempt to fire at all.

I attempted disconnecting the power from the fuel pump and allowing the carburetor to drain down and the engine burning all the fuel at shutdown(thinking that it may be flooding after shutdown), but no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Default RE: Problem with hot start

I noticed today that T1 & T2 ports on the distributor do not have fire after the car has been driven. I'm assuming that
one of the ignitors is failing after the car heats up. Would any other part or parts cause this problem?
