I asked a question last week about my 1520 and how it vapor locks, but I do not believe I asked the question right.My 1520 shuts off when it gets too hot, we have replaced that little syloind, but still have no luck.The problem I think could be that the gas line goes around the motor causing the gas to heat up. If anyone has any ideas on what the problem could be or how to fix it, plseas let me know, I would like to use this tractor to plant beans soon because its sits nice on the newly plowed ground. Thank-you for your help

It can't be the fuel line. My 1520 and all 1520s have the fuel line around the engine. All of them would do the samething if that was it.

Check for spark when it's in "failure mode", just to rule that out as a cause.

If it has good spark and is REALLY vapor locked, here's a couple of ideas:

1.) Fabricate and install some type of heat shield between the manifold and gas line, with and air gap on both sides to keep the line cooler.


2.) Install a low-pressure electric fuel pump, such as sold by JC Whitney for foreign cars. The added pressure will keep the gas flowing, and prevent vapor lock.

It still sounds like an ignition problem to me, though, perhaps a bad coil or condensor thats sensistive to heat.

Yes, I second the bad condensor suggestion.
