Heat soak is the fuel boiling in the carb fuel bowl. It usually comes after shutdown but like in a severe case like Sharons it even does it at idle. It is a flooding condition. It is not the same thing as vapor lock where the fuel boils in the lines & blocks the flow of gas to the carb causing hard starting & stalling after it runs a short distance. About the only way to solve heat soak is insulators & shields.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
