Wesley, Sounds like vapor lock, or the fuel is boiling in the carb. Look for a place the fuel line is close to the exhaust and try shielding it with aluminum foil or some welding heat shield material. Some people put wooden cloths pins on the fuel line, and sometimes it works. If the carb is getting to hot, check to make sure all the original equipment is present. I think a heat shield could be fabricated from sheet metal and placed under the carb. Use the base gasket as a pattern. For temporary fix try the foil wrapped around the base of the carb. Good luck, Bert
