This afternoon outside temp was at least 94. the car took a long time to start:crank, pump, wait, pump, crank, curse, crank.
Finally started, when I finished my errand it didn't want to start again. Vapor lock?? Is there a cure?? thanks, |

Bypass regulator will eliminate this.
Once you have vapor lock, the vapor gets trapped in the carbs, the only way out. as new fuel hits the hot hoses, it vaporizes quickly. The only escape for the pressurized vapor is through the carb. The bypass regulator gives the fuel an easier way to escape. The rush of fresh fuel will cool down the lines and the carbs (a little). Then the car just starts right up. |
