<VV> Fwd: Re: VAPOR LOCK

[Ron]

I'm totally opposed to using an electric fuel pump to enable a quick start 
after a long park spell.  It makes no sense to start on dry bearings and I 
find that the extended cranking time required to fill dry carburetors is 
just a little after the oil pressure comes up.  Before that you don't want 
it to start!
