The Royale has a bit of vapor lock when the ambient temp is over ~85*. Once the ambient temp drops into the 70's there is no issue. A PO has installed an insulated fuel line from the fuel pump to carb. I'm contemplating installing a bypass from the carb back to the tank to keep the fuel moving.
However, I just saw some info on Bdub's pages about vapor lock and using the Carter kit. Assume this has two one-way valves to recirc/bypass the fuel.
How well do these fare against vapor lock?
Alternatively, I have a couple good spare Holley red pumps, and could install one without the recirc/bypass. Any real difference in functionality?
Not looking to do anything more intrusive or costly at this time; too many higher-priority projects this year.
