Vapor lock, etcetera is common. On my Tuholer, I found it happened when I parked facing into the wind, which made the carb area hotter. You can hardly force the vapors out with fuel pressure. A return line with a small restriction to return some fuel and VAPOR back to the tank makes these operations easier.
Bottom carbs and gravity feed need to allow some cowling ventilation when parked. Some aircraft have a vent gate in the upper cowl that blows shut when flying but allows cooling on the ground.
