" I have a 305 chevy inbard wi
" I have a 305 chevy inbard with a 4 barrel carb. on a 22' open center console. The engine runs and starts perfectly - - but--when it is fully warmed up and slowly trolling for an hour or so it sputters and stalls. Will not start until it cools off. Sounds like vapor lock but the copper fuel tbe running across the engine to the carb is at best warm to touch when it stalls. Fuel tank is new, pump is new, line is new, and filters are clean. Could it be starving for more air flow? The only air flow into this very tight compartment is from two forward scoops/4 inch hose leading into the compartment. There are no air vents or scoops on the center console itself..Any thoughts? "
