A really rusty biker
Haven't had this problem for years. We used to put wooden cloths pins on the fuel line. Don't know if this really worked. Any way here is the situation.
First of all it has been very hot for this area. When I left the GG event on both Saturday and Sunday on the way home I was getting indications of vapor lock but fortunately I got home ok.
Saturday day we got home unpacked and I went to put the car in the shop and it wouldn't start, lifted the hood and saw that the gas was boiling in the in-line fuel filter (its glass). I let it sit for a few hours and once cooled it started right up. Any cures out there?
BTW I am talking about a bone stock 48 Chev. The temp gauge, if accurate, never went over 190-200 and stayed at 180 once I was on the highway. Once the weather cools down the problem will most likely go away but it would be nice to hear some suggestions for future use.
As always, thank you in advance
