Vapor lock

[1931 flamingo]

Gotcha..........................

I installed an electric fuel shutoff on my indented 31 Tudor when I first bought it. It's been trouble free and no leaks.
For the past year I've been fighting what some of you may call "vapor lock". No or reduced fuel flow. Stops running, pull to the side of the road, crack the fitting at the carb and "magic", fuel flow. I even covered the fuel line with the orig style wire loom fabric. Last Saturday on the way to a cruise (didn't make it) it happened about 5 times. I let the car sit for a week (too hot/humid). Yesterday I went out and ck'd for flow, strong flow from the tank, little to no dribble from the valve.
I dis-assembled the valve and found the solenoid "sticking", flushed it out good with carb cleaner, re-assembled and now have the same rate of flow from the valve as from the tank. Luckily, I have no dirt/rust in my tank (thank You God !) Maybe this experience will help someone else.
