<VV> Vapor lock revisited

[Jim Burkhard]

George -
Try to see if it will fire on a small squirt of ether (starting fluid) 
into the air cleaner.  If it doesn't start on the starting fluid, you 
could something ignition related (coil getting hot on the soak stops 
working).  i consider that unlikely, but it's easy to check.

Back to the fuel side for a moment?  Do the carbs have the plastic 
spacers between them and the mounting pads on the heads?
