The opposite of that might be called a flame-out. Generally, that's a too lean condition caused my too much heat and/or pre-burning.
*Please explain hydro-lock, vapor-lock, and flame-out? I assumed the terms were interchangeable because of the "locked" condition...he's just plain ole' not starting.
Uhmmm, I think that a vapor lock is not that.. What you said, for me is a hydro lock...
And a flame-out for me is when the engine turn off in the track, don't matter the problem (too lean, bad plug, etc)
But I'm from Brazil, and the "terms" here could be diferent
Anyway, I said that the problem could be a vapor lock, because this already happened to me, I was putting hot air direct to the carb, and the carb get to hot that the fuel evaporates before enter in the engine, making a lot of bublles in the fuel line... And I was not using an fuel filter when this happened to me...
But try to take out your fuel filter too...
