The pump will not induce vapor lock. The vapor lock problem is in the fuel line
where heat causes the fuel to bubble. This is not, however, to be confused w/
boiling fuel in the carbs. An easy test for vapor lock is a simple wooden
clothes pin. Clamp it on the visible part of the line (before the carbs) and
off you go. Yes, it is odd but it works.
