There is no gas smell whatsoever, and it doesn't seem to matter how much gas is in it. I have never tried loosening the gas cap while it is running to see if it helps, but I guess I could next time.

This may be a really stupid question, but I make no claims to being a mechanic. Does the carburetor have some sort of choke that the heat could affect, thus making it hard to start without giving it lots of gas on those long drives with brief stops in between?

It really just seems like it doesn't get the gas it should then, as I really have to pump the gas hard to get the car to start at those times. The starter is going strong, it has enough fire in plugs every other time, so what could be missing but air and fuel. I don't know if it gets enough air or not, but the gas has to be pumped in when it is having such problems.
