Correct me if I'm wrong, but you got the adapter and Weber carb from Tom Langdon, right? Ask him what he does to eliminate the problem. I have the adapter too but have not yet installed the Weber carb so mine is all still in the box with the carb rebuild kit you sold me. Remember?

I was having a similar problem over the summer and put an inexpensive foil heat sheath on the gas line where it goes over the manifold and it made a world of difference. It's not as hot up here as Carolina, but it's worth considering.
