Can I assume the electric pump is mounted in the rear near the tank? If so vapor lock is probably not the problem. Have you checked the line for pressure? Leaking needle and seat and/or too high a pressure could be the problem (leading to flooding), or perhaps a balky automatic choke. If holding the gas pedal all way to the floor (beyond what triggers the starter motor) help it get started, then clearly flooding is the issue.
