does it turn over and not start? since you referanced the battery and alt. i'd guess that is the case, if so you need a new starter, don't confuse new and rebuilt. vapor lock is when the fuel becomes more vapor than liquid and can't be pumped. if you have an electric pump vapor lock isn't your problem, unless you wrapped a line around a header tube.
