[QUOTE=BRENT in 10-uh-C;1863234]Yes, wood is generally thought of as an insulator and not as a heat sink.




"Is your condition vapor lock or fuel percolation? Two totally different issues."


When it'll happens, we pour water over the carb/fuel line and it's temportarly corrected itself until it happens shortly afterwards. Have no sucess wraping the fuel line in an insulation either. Once while I was running the engine, I saw an air bubble form rigth there in front of me in the fuel bowl, while the engine was running -- tho a bit rough. We've noticed the fuel line has a very short distance where the line runs parelle on the way to carb., and looking into making this distants go away

Would inserting that fuel line is say a rubber hose (vacumn line?) offer any assureances, watse of time, or what? Would (and I hate this one) going with a rubber fuel line solve this?
Thanks Guys
