My WC53 is pretty much useless when it gets hot out. The fuel system from tank to carb is brand new. Stock parts. But it just loves to vapor lock.

Has anyone studied this? I know modern cars have the fuiel pumps in the tank. Fine, but my old 1970 Camaro, back in the day, had a manual fuel pump and it NEVER had vaperf lock problem ever. (Sometimes I miss that car!)

Why would my WC53 b different? What's the deal?

Anyone?

Thanks!
