[QUOTE=steve s;213693]Bubbles can be sticky. Did you ever have to jiggle the sink stopper to burp the drain and get it to drain? It doesn't help the bubble rise when the liquid it's trying to flow thru is moving in the opposite direction.

A Model A engine provides an ample amount of jiggle to dislodge a bubble from a gas line.

I'm sorry guys, I not buying any of the vapor lock theories. Vapor lock has never happened to me and it never will because I don't believe in it. I have had a faulty condenser and trash in the fuel tank cause my Model A to act like you described. Since I was sceptical, I looked at other things to find the problem and not write it off as the vapor lock mystery.

I don't think you will find a cure for your vapor lock. I think you can find out why your Model A is not performing like it should. Good Luck!!!!
