You are unlikely to have vapour lock. It's most likely to be flooding due to the fuel hose routing from the pump to carb, which is fairly unavoidable.

If you have something like a downdraght Weber, you need a bleed from one side of pump back to the other. Later model DGV's have a 2nd hose attachment that bleeds off pressure as soon as the pump stops.
