If I remember right, the 130's engine is not fuel injected, so the vapor-lock will be an issue with the low fuel pump pressures.

The old-school fix to eliminated vapor-lock, was to clip a wooden clothes pin onto the fuel line just before the carburator. This acted like a heat-sink.

As little as possible.

In my misspent youth, we could use the pinching type (with the spring) and the other old type (push on) to make match guns using the now hard to find strike anywhere kitchen matches. Range 10 to 15 feet. Not recommended for dry climates. The kitchen matches cost ten cents per box which would fit in the back pocket of the old style jeans. One day a participant was ambushed, pushed down onto his butt, and chased us with a smoke trail.

Well the Fiat made it home from Gettysburg PA with the vapor lock issues again after having to refill the Tank with 10% Ethanol, as expected, ran the battery down the 1st time and killed the battery booster I had with me, got a jump start from a Fiat 500 four door owner and back on the road!
2nd fuel stop was followed into the service plaza by a very nice Ohio state trooper that just wanted to look at the car.
The charging system is only putting out 12.9 volts so it didn't totally recharge the battery and with the kindness of the trooper, strangers, and an Alpha Romeo Gulia owner we made it to the 3rd and last gas stop, and it restarted on its own after sitting and cooling off for 15 minutes.
So home now, and in the process of loading up my FIL's trikes and trailer for sale to our local Harley Davison dealer, sad day

Fix it again Tony.

PD. Ugh. Went to home school by accident and met one of my team members. He's pretty cool. Went an hour late to my ELA snooze fest. The usual rushed information, 20 hours information in 3 hours.

I welded and ground on these first 10 support assemblies and then got them as for as red oxide primer.

The paint store is mixing up water borne epoxy to match the slate gray metal and trim on the house.

LOL...been there before. Surprised my parent's home's second floor never even groaned under the weight of my library before I moved out. I started thinining mine down when it took six trips in the minivan to move it. Two layers deep, from the front seats to the rear hatch, six trips. Covered a wall 12 feet wide and almost 6 feet high, with some shelves triple deep. I got rid of several thousand paperback novels after that move and have pared it down pretty much to reasearch and history stuff. Too many boxes still in storage for where I live now.

Once had three walls of books, two rooms, floor to ceiling. Hurricane Katrina removed some but the remainder are now in the workshop/garage of replacement home and my classification/order is a mess. Before the storm, I could select from the era and type to refer nearly instantly to questions.
