When you experience vapor lock, it's generally recommended to let your motor cool for about 15 to 30 minutes before attempting to start your car. This cooling period allows the fuel in the lines to return to a liquid state, reducing pressure and alleviating the vapor lock issue. Additionally, ensure that you are parked in a shaded area or have proper ventilation to help speed up the cooling process.
To resolve a vapor lock, you should typically allow your car to cool for about 15 to 30 minutes. This gives the engine and fuel system time to cool down, helping to restore proper fuel flow. In some cases, you may also need to alleviate the heat by opening the hood or using a fan. Once cooled, you can try restarting the engine.
Let the gas out of the carb. Either loosen it a little from the base and let it out, or just letting it sit and cool down should do it
Loosen the carborator and let the gas out, or just let it cool down

To remove vapor lock from a Porsche 911, start by allowing the engine to cool down, as vapor lock occurs when fuel vaporizes in the fuel lines. Ensure that the fuel lines and connections are insulated from heat sources, and consider rerouting them if necessary. Additionally, using a fuel pump with a higher pressure rating can help maintain fuel flow, preventing the vaporization issue. Regularly check and replace any worn fuel lines to minimize the risk of vapor lock.

Older fuel pumps suck the fuel from the tank to the engine, and push it from the pump to the carb,and are susceptible to vapor lock because of this ( suction). You can reroute and insulate the fuel lines so they stay cool, but the best most permanent way is to install an electric fuel pump as close to the fuel tank as possible, that way it is a pressure system and not prone to vapor lock.
in the fuel line up close to or on injector rail there should be what looks like a air valve, push it in until pressure is constant this will fix the vapor lock,but then replace gas cap
Yes a 1998 mercury 200 efi outboard vapor can lock. Most of the time the issue can be traced back to the quality of fuel put into the engine that can cause the vapor to lock.
