Doesn't sound like vapor lock, it wouldn't crank right back, would have to cool first. Low float level, low fuel pressure, dirt in carb all could cause it to die like that. If you are running a mechanical pump, it might not be providing enough fuel at idle and be fine at higher RPM's.

The small metal fuel filter on the electric fuel pump is REALLY hard to remove.
I am going to modify it somehow to make it easier to change.

You know that you are doing it right when truckers honk and give you the thumbs up
