Re: Vapor lock cure for carbed engines

Seems like a funny time of year for a guy from Michigan to be concerned about vapor lock?
While I can see your under-carb being a cool thing, I'm not convinced that it is the "cure" for vapor lock problems. Bowl boiling is not the only source. Many times the lines to and from the fuel pump on the side of the block are the blockage.
As far as I can see, an electric pump near the tank is the best cure.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
