i asked the same question and a fellow replied that it could be vapour lock, and if you were planning on keeping the carb, what he did was fabricate his own "cool can" which cools the fuel before entering the carb thus eliminating the bog altogether.

That's not vapor lock, that's the classic quadrajet bog.
