Josh Lawson Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks Andy for sending round the nudge email. Unfortunately I can go round left corners... Haven't worked out why yet but I get a loss of power when going full blatt round left hand bends... Right handers are ok though...?! I'm getting the engine worked on in May so I may hold off doing any track days until then. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 That's just a bit of fuel starvation, nothing to worry about Yes, assuming you're on fuel injection, that sounds like typical behaviour once you get below around a third of a tank or so. There are a number of possible solutions, from having a bigger sump added to your existing tank, through to the bells and whistles but stops any chance of a repeat approach of adding a low pressure pump and swirl pot to your existing system.

Yep, I was a victim of starvation on a long left hander with less than half a tank of fuel.Last winter I fitted a swirl pot and low pressure pump to feed it and have had no problems since. I would have definitely experienced starvation through Lancaster bend at Blyton without the new set up! The added bonus is I added at least an extra litre of fuel storage into the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
