I have always wondered about this! Air or vapor on the suction side would definitely stop fuel delivery. But wouldn’t a bubble of vapor on the pressurized side just get pushed along into the carb where it would escape out the carb’s air vent? Wouldn’t the pump’s check valve keep a vapor bubble from backing up?
