I have a 1979 mg midget with a weber carb ( with the water temp controlled choke) ,I have a electric fuel pump mounted beside the fuse panel under the bonnet. As far as the fuel tank, i installed a non vented fuel tank(because the original vented type wasnt available if I remember correctly).
My problem is that when Im in a parade or heavy traffic on a 80+ degree day, the car seems to have vapor lock. I find that there is no fuel before or after the carb when the car quits running. Is this because of my non vented tank, fuel pump mounted in engine bay, or anything else Im not thinking of? I'm hoping someone else has had experience with this,
and can send me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
