I finally took my Vega out for about an hour the other day. I experienced what I would call a vapor lock. At least that is what I think. I would go somewhere, then turn it off to chat. It would be very hard to start, then after rolling away from a stop, it acted like it was starving for fuel. If I was rolling fast enough, I could pump the gas feverishly to get it to sputter, then it would be ok.
The mechanical temp gauge reads a constant 210 once it is all warmed up. My dad recommended that I put a cool can on the fuel lines. Right now I have a Monza radiator, with the upper hose a little too high for my taste ( may cause big air bubble if I were to guess).
Any suggestions?
