OK.... considering a ZS carb has it's float chamber on the bottom of the carb, where the SU has the separate float chamber.... why would one be more prone to vapor lock than the other.? I'm purposely leaving that question open ended, as I'd like to hear peoples opinions on which carb absorbs more heat and is more prone (from peoples experience) to vapor lock.
Second thought/question..... Does it sound feasible that using a larger diameter fuel supply line,(say 5/16" vs the stock 1/4" metal line) wrapped along side and around the front of the engine like it is on a Triumph GT6 for example) that the gas will be moving slower though the pipe, thus possibly absorbing more heat? ...or possibly for clarity should I simply ask.... Has it been peoples experience that vapor lock is happening in the carbs or the feed lines? And as so... why wouldn't a pump simply blow the air bubble (pushed by the fuel) into the float chambers of either carb style where it would simply vent via the chamber vent holes? I'd like to make sure I understand this before I write up an expose' on what's been going on with a friends car and what 'appears' to have resolved the problem. tia Paul Tegler [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.teglerizer.com *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
