Ya, yu becha! Sounds like a problem to me.
It almost has to be some sort of fuel vapor lock. The fuel or the float bowls
or something. Heat is building up, vaporizing the gas and putting back
pressure
on the system. I know the pump is not building that kind of pressure by
itself.
I am going to try a makeshift heat shield tonight to see if it will halt the
problem
I am also going to inspect the back side of the shielding and see where the
insulation might be bad. Do you have any other ideas where the system might
be getting hot? I wonder why the float bowl vents aren't letting the pressure
out of the system? Hmmmmmm?
