OK.... considering a ZS carb has it's float chamber on
the bottom of the carb, where the SU has the separate float
chamber.... why would one be more prone to vapor lock
than the other.? I'm purposely leaving that question open
ended, as I'd like to hear peoples opinions on which carb
absorbs more heat and is more prone (from peoples
experience) to vapor lock.
Second thought/question.....
Does it sound feasible that using a larger diameter fuel supply
line,(say 5/16" vs the stock 1/4" metal line) wrapped along side
and around the front of the engine like it is on a Triumph GT6
for example) that the gas will be moving slower though the
pipe, thus possibly absorbing more heat?
...or possibly for clarity should I simply ask.... Has it been
peoples experience that vapor lock is happening in the carbs
or the feed lines? And as so... why wouldn't a pump simply
blow the air bubble (pushed by the fuel) into the float chambers
of either carb style where it would simply vent via the chamber
vent holes?
I'd like to make sure I understand this before I write up an
expose' on what's been going on with a friends car and what
'appears' to have resolved the problem.
