Vapor lock is usually caused by overheating the gasoline in the fuel line so that it becomes a vapor. When the vaporized fuel reaches the fuel pump the pump stops working, the carburetor runs out of gas and the engine stalls. Look for a fuel line too close to a heat source, often the exhaust manifold or pipe then move the fuel line away from the heat source.
