I've never suffered true vapor lock either (every potential instance has
turned out to be something else), but my understanding is that it can be
used to explain almost any odd behavior <g>
Basically, the fuel starts boiling inside the fuel line, typically
between the fuel pump and the tank. Small bubbles of vapor will
eventually be passed by the fuel pump, but can temporarily interrupt >>
You can always try the '40's trick for vapor lock. Cut and orange in half
and squish it pulp side down on the fuel pump. Cools the fuel and insulates
it somewhat.
