Vapor lock and ethanol gasoline

[Thom75]

Hot soak vapor lock occurs with all of my 2 cycle engines.
When using non ethanol gas, vapor lock does't happen.
Anyone else have this experience??

if you are having problems with older engines vapor locking, your only answer is ethanol free gas. When today's gasoline gets hot, it turns to vapor and doesn't flow properly in carburetor engines, that's why they vapor lock

Mr. Ricardeyes told it like it is. We only use non-ethanol in our 2-cycle and small 4-cycle equipment year-round. May be my imagination, but it gives a bit more power.
