How do you spell "VAPOR LOCK" usually caused by a fuel line running close to
"HOT" exhaust manifold orthe like, causing the fuel in the line to evaporate
into a gasseous state. This bubble of gas prevents the fuel from reaching
the carburation device, hence the stall out. When the engine cools down the
gasseous gas condenses back into liquid and presto chango......the vehicle
starts like there's nothing wrong, until the process starts all over again.
