I thought it may have been vapour lock as well, so I removed the original air cleaner with the preheater and tube and ran one with a wider opening with the duct that pulls air from the core support. I left the end of the duct open to allow air to be forced directly in, and even with the cool temps we've had up here lately there's been no change
