Hey all. My Midas is back on the road with a rebuilt engine. (1380cc with a fast race cam, bigger carb, tube headers).
The vapour lock is even worse now, since the exhaust manifold is now even hotter. It's hickuped a few times and stalled twice after running slowly in the traffic. The only thing that gets it running again after stalling is giving it a few sips of gas straight to the carb. Even after cooling down for a night the fuel pump will not pump fuel to the carb, no matter how long i turn the starter.
So, next up is a fuel line reroute. Now the fuel line from the mechanical pump goes straight past the exhaust manifold, and I guess that's the source of the problem. I'm guessing that alone will solve the problems...
But man, does this thing shift with the new engine!
