Re: Help trying to fix vapor lock run into other issues

Thanks for the help. The has a good vent on it. I ended up adjusting the level in the bowls. I raised the level because I noticed I was barely getting any fuel to splash up in the sight glass when I shook it. The only thing I can think was when it was dead heading it was good but with that little bit of recirc from the filter it dropping it just enough. Knock on wood it’s running fine now and the hot restarts are much better. When I shut it off after a few minutes you can hear the fuel and vapor that would flood the carb going back to the tank. The filter is an AC Delco gf423 and it has a a .060 orifice in the return. I also am probably going to go the electric fuel pump route in the future
