Default Re: Vapor Lock

you dont get vapor lock on gravity feed carbs, the fuel runs down hill no matter what, if it hard to start after a long run the fuel is probably being evaporated or boiled in the carb causing a rich starting problem, they make a heat shield that goes between the carb and manifold mount, it deflects heat away from the carb, check all the fuel delivery system, make sure none are restricted, might even be an electrical problem
