    It sounds like your amp meter may be installed incorrectly? it needs to be between the output of the alternator and positive side of the battery (see AutoMeter instructions below). Make sure that you're wired correctly. Amp gauge should hang just above zero after initial start up and bounce down and back up when lights or another accessory is turned on. It shouldn't stay at 15.

    That said, you may also be chasing a fuel problem, i.e., fuel lines too close to heat source and inducing a vapor lock. The two minute "cool down" allows enough fuel to return to the lines and the float bowl. Are your fuel lines well away from exhaust and not tight to the engine block?
