<VV> Help for Vapor Lock

[BBRT]

George,

You might try the later carbs with the vent on the side, which helps the hot 
start issue.  You want to make sure you have the aluminum main well outer 
"tube" that has holes in it-where the main circuit tube is - a part of the 
venturi cluster.  Both these are to help solve the hot start issues.

If they don't work and the engine compartment in an FC is just too hot, yes, 
you might have to go to an electric fuel pump.

Good Luck
