Default Carb physics

I was not good in science. Am sure that is faulting me now. Here is the setup. I have a long driveway to my garage. the last 100 feet is 45 degree grade down into the garage. I back my car into the garage. When its colder out, say 50 and below, i can back down the grade with no issue. When its warmer out, as i begin down the grade, the tripower starts acting up, sputtering, and usually the car conks out and I have to glide the rest of the way down the hill with no motor.

What would cause the carb to act this way, only when its warmer out?
