Hi all,
I recall reading several posts over the years about it having to do with keeping the carb tower just cool enough to prevent fuel vapour lock, and just wanted to have it confirmed once and for all. I’m having vapour lock issues with my V8 in Cape Town, which I’m preparing to sell, and my good friend who services and looks after it figures it’s just a thermostat bypass and can be deleted. He’s been in the P6 game for 50 years so I’m not trying to tell him to do something unless I know for a fact what I’m asking him. As far as I know it’s not been hacked away and may be drilled/poked clear and reconnected.
The car has a Huco sucker type pump, replumbed supply lines, a fresh carb overhaul and the radiator has been gone over.
Thanks as ever,
Tor
