In my experience....the only VL  in a Vair I've experienced was while idling 
in line at the Tijuana Border Crossing in the summer....a 64 110/ pg /vert 
/single exhaust.......thermostats working....no AC.....150 deg!  "they say"......

It was heat from the exhaust boiling the fuel in the line behind the drivers 
wheel...after cracking a line at the carbs didn't help...we just pushed for 
the next 5 hrs.....approx. 50 ft!   ggg
