[Shop-talk] vapor lock

[Eric J Russell]

Does it occur while driving or after shut down and attempted 
re-starts?

If the former, it is usually the fuel pump that is getting 'vapor 
locked' - try re-routing fuel lines away from any heat sources (block, 
exhaust,etc).

If the latter, it could be the fuel in the float bowl 
boiling/vaporizing. Try an insulating spacer between the intake and 
the carb.
