vopor lock

["d t gebhard" <kimkell@decaturnet.com>]

        Well here it is 4th of July weekend and I'm not driving the
Spit...vapor lock or at least that's what I think it is. Symptoms, let it idle
to get hot. drive away with plenty of go but then chugga,chugga,chugga,die.
Let cool, restart. Repeat. I've moved the fuel line to go near the firewall
and built what I thought to be an effective heat shield. I will entertain any
and all ideas. It's still got the original fuel pump and stromburg carb.

            Thank
