That's the key question. Until I hear evidence to
the contrary, I'm going to keep on believing that gravity feed
carbureted systems that have a reasonable (say 2 ft or better)
vertical distance between tank pickup and carb inlet are immune to all
this vapor lock stuff.


Believe whatever you like.

Anecdotally speaking....

My GRAVITY fed RV3 has been totally immune to
vapor lock after logging more than 440 hours in it.
The vertical distance has remained less than 2 ft
for over 17 years.

P.S.
Not yet sure certain what can be believed.

P.P.S.
A greater 'fall' is certainly desirable.

YMMV.
