    We're wandering into the percolation vs. evaporation vs. vapor lock conversation. The approach to each is different. As was noted in the earliest replies, diagnosis is the best first step.

    A 'bypassing' fuel regulator has a return line that carries the fuel back to the tank that's not needed by the carburetor. That maintains a flow of cool fuel, whereas a 'blocking' type regulator...

    In addition to what others have recommended, look into a bypassing fuel pressure regulator. It works extremally in curing vapor lock.

    Actually, that was one of a few I did and made a video. Music "hey Little Cobra" and apparently was a copyright infringement and won't play in some countries. crlOxoAdWBI
