Re: Vapor Lock 101 ?
What I believe you had happen was indeed vapor lock. Depending where you live I think you will find the gas at the pump contains up to 10 % ethenol plus possibly some other additives.Ethenol boils at a lower temp than the old gas we used to get, and even lower temp with your altitude, 5000 ft.Boiling fuel equals vapor.It is not your car or your carb but probably fuel chemistry.When it gets real hot under the hood here in Denver we have the same problem.Sounds like your carb runs great when it a little cooler.Hope this helps,Phil Turner, Berts Model A,Denver
