Fuel Problem: Vapor Lock?
I'm bringing this up from another thread hoping to find a cure!
Having a problem with what seems like vapor lock.
Runs good at highway speed but when I get into town or run slower, engine temp climbs to 200-205. soon afterward it will stall and will not restart until after a 15 minute cooling off period.Then it will fire right up.
Note: also happens after I stop and shut 'er down...I get a couple of miles down the road and it'll stall.
It's getting both frustrating and embarrassing.
Thought maybe it was a bad coil. replaced coil.
last time I took a small bottle of gas and dumped a little in the carb...fired right up!
Stewart Warner Fuel pump - 6 PSI
3/8 alum fuel line insulated tank to carb
Could be this $#@%&*&$ reformulated gas the EPA makes us burn!!!!
have not tried the racing fuel suggested a not real practical where I live.
any other ideas?
Thanks
