Vapour lock? Is that possible on a vanagon?

I recall that my old volvo 145 had a "hot start"
device. It was supposed to adjust a part in the carb
to help it start when engine hot. Of course it would
malfunction when engine was hot. (a cruel irony if you
ask me.....)

I realize the comparison is "apples to oranges" in a
way, but is there a similar part on your vans engine?
Some kind of hot start device?
