Reply to "Running hot...vapor locked twice - Any suggestions?"

 

It sounds like what's new is the overheating.

If the gauge goes much higher than is normal, or certainly close to the red, you should probably stop, pop the engine lid, and let it cool.

When the car cooled down, it ran OK until it overheated again and then started popping and breaking up?

If so, your fuel pump is OK and the jets are clean. Blocked jets won't cause overheating, but a hot engine compartment will cause vapor lock, popping, and an engine that doesn't want to run.

I'm guessing if you solve the heat issue, your 'carb problems' will go away.

Is your fan belt worn, loose or slipping?
