Icon3 1980 Civic 1500 Vapor lock???

Thank you in advance -My First Post-

Ok so my car starts fine when the engine is cold but if I go for a drive and stop at the store somewhere it wont start when i leave. I have to wait like two hours before the car will start again.
I have replaced the fuel pimp and filter.
the carb is rebuilt.
Any way to fix the problem guys or any ideas?

Well I have the same problem with my 1983 civic wagovan.
That really sucks that fuel filter and carb didn't solve the problem.
My only advise will help you not have to wait 2 hours.
If you hold down the gas pedal (without pumping it) then hold it in start until it fires up, it should start.

I hope that helps
