Short answer NOT always, but most of the time yes. It will depend on the needle and seat in carby, the float level and/or the diaphram position.
In most float type carbies as the fuel is used the needle will allow the vapour lock to bleed off. In some floatless, diaphram carbies the vapour lock will just move from the fuel line into the diaphram mechanism of the carby, must cursing when this happens. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 [email protected] http://users.tpg.com.au/barryk/KR2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Jones To: KR Net Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 9:01 AM Subject: KR> Vapor Lock In my research on the Facet pumps, I found a statement that "the facet pump virtually eliminates any possibility of vapor lock due to the fuel being forced through the system under pressure by the pump". Do you believe that?
