Hello tc3thatflys7,

I would say that if there is a Vapour Lock then the engine is at Over Heat state. One think that You should consider to check if Your Temperature Probe is still has a correct temperature reading.

And You might also consider to Richen Your High Needle while conducting Your Break-In Process.. Vapour Lock at Break-In Process is not good at all..

Cheers..

The hottest the engine got was about 216 degrees F. Once the engine's temperature goes down to about 140 degrees it primes no problem and restarts. Does anyone know of any solutions? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
