Can anyone shed some light?

Last year I did a bit of a re-furb, including my Weber 45s. Car has since been stup on an RR - everything is generally fine.

I've noticed that when I fling the car round tight right handers (and roundabouts) the car splutters and runs rough for several seconds afterwards.

I'm absolutely sure it's a fuel issue. My first thought was fuel starvation, but:

1. The symptoms are more like flooding and sometimes (if I stop immediately and investigate) I'll get a bit of black smoke
2. It has a regulator and decent fuel pump
3. The pick up from the fuel tank is on the passenger side

Any ideas? It only lasts a few seconds and it's only on right hand turns. 2 litre Zetec on 45s, megajolt, filter king regulator and solid state fuel pump.

many thanks

Dan

Dan, similar prob. on my set-up improved (but not totally cured) by fitting a larger float chamber needle valve. This improves the refresh rate in the fuel chamber.
Difficulty of course is in deciding whether the problem is over- or under-fuelling since it happens for only such a brief period. Needle valves are rel. cheap though.
Northampton Motorsport should be able to sell you the necessary and are normally generous with their advice.
HTH.

brim the tank with fuel and try again, do you have a swirl pot on the fuel tank?
