Re: Needing advice on vapor lock problem.

I’ve been busy trying the different suggestions and will report back what worked out the best. As you all know that working on carburetors can be fiddly since there is a lot of making single adjustments then waiting for a cool down to try something else.

- Working on timing currently. Looks to need slight adjustments.
- Rerouted fuel line from pump to carburetor. Also sleeved it in a fibre heat wrap.
- Adjusted the electrical choke cap.
- Filled tank with No-Ethanol 91 gas.

It is still acting up, but these changes have had an overall positive cumulative impact. The article on the Holley blocks had the fix that I am pretty sure will do the trick ultimately. I‘ll wait on doing that when I have some more free time to remove the carb.

I’ll keep reporting back and let everyone know what the final conclusion is. Thanks again!
