Problem solved. After replacing the carburetor to a plastic carburetor there were no more vapor lock issues. The carburetor's temperature didn't pass 105 Degrees F with an engine temp of 225 F.

Yeah... right... The whole world is using metal carburators so that is the problem.....

I'd be wondering what made the metal carb get hot enough to boil fuel.

HIS Mephisto came with an aluminum carb. He already said that earlier in the thread.

I first would have taken the carburator apart. Check is all the O-rings are there and not damaged and if there is a metal chip somewhere inside.
Last I did read somewhere that a guy with issues did find out there was no O-ring on the main needle.... As mentioned there are plenty of engines running with an aluminum carb so it is no standard error. |
