Power loss when cornering

Post by Dan91 » 06 Aug 2014 10:52 pm

Ok so i have a 340 1.7, Completely standard and runs great 90% of the time, however when im cornering with body roll and im on the throttle it cuts power almost as if its not getting any fuel, kind of like a missfire? Hard to explain.

To me it feels as if it's not getting fuel at that point? Or maybe a vacuum leak but why only under cornering/body roll?, then its fine a few seconds later. Going to take a look this weekend, starting with Carb.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Suggestion 1) Speak to Mac.
Suggestion 2) read this: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=9289
Suggestion 3) weight this:

My money is on it being heavier than the correct 6 grammes. I think Mac has new floats stashed in his man-cave.
