Vapor lock vs. vaccum lock!

I too suspect junk plugging the fuel line or jets. The first thing I would do is clean the carb and sediment bowl, remove the fuel line and blow blow through it, remove the shutoff valve and install a fine screen filter. Make sure the fuel line going into the carb doesn't extend more than 1/8" beyond the brass ring.
