car dies after run

i didnt get no answer at the carb section so.
i have a problem with my holley 750 dp mechanical secondaries.car runs great cold but as soon as it heats up it runs bad and dies.when it does die i need to open the throttle wide open and crank it ,to get it started.I think i might of ruptured my power valve.i have the power valve out of carb, is there a way to test to see if its broke.as far as i can see the power valve diaphram seem to be intact.this car is race only ,so should i just use a power valve plug????another possibility i was thinking was i might be expierancing vapor lock???

Power valves are cheap, try replacing it even if the diaphram looks good.
