Default Vapor lock

Ok...I installed a 3/4"(aluminum) spacer under each Carb ...Still stalls. (float bowls are dry)

I tried 50/50 blend of pump gas/Race fuel, as recommended in another thread (stalled less frequently!

Presently running 100% Race fuel (oh baby! )... and NO stalls!

Ok... so maybe I found a remedy...but did I fix the problem?

Can anyone explain why Race fuel doesn't vapor lock like this EPA mandated @$#%* Reformulated corn based gas we're required to run here in SE Wisconsin?
Thanks,
Tom

PS: Watch out you California guys.. I've heard you'll be
required to run this RFG soon!!!

This winter I've got some fix'ems to do and will likely re-route the fuel line for more clearance from exhaust.
