Cutting out

Post by fastharry »

I had a test day at leicester speedway on my 350/410 flattracker the other day, it was running fine in the morning but in the afternoon it cutout for a split second coming out of turn 2. ( Turn 1 being the first corner after the start line) It would then pick up go through turn 3 and 4, blast down the start straight go into turn 1 pick up speed coming out of 2 then die again, just for may be a second , I checked the fuel level when i got home and it was a bit low when lent over to the left (as we are always turning left) and i thought ah! fuel starvation, but then remembered there is a fuel pipe joining each carb, with the right carb tipped up maybe there wasn't enough head of pressure in the tank to fill the bowl until i straightened the bike up, it was time to wrap up before i had chance to investigate further and go back on the track. Anyone had any similar incidents?
