I'm not aware of any type of valving controlling the vacuum to the shut off valve- there should be a hose directly attached to the carb which goes directly to the shut off valve.
The components of the fuel system shouldn't get cold- in fact the regulator should get warm- it's plumbed into the cooling system of the engine.
