colin carthy Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 At curborough sprint last year my 1700 x flow started missing after the bends, and cleared itself on the straights again!! It runs fine whilst general driving, but missfires on tight hairpin bends. Is this a fuel pump problem??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 This could be float adjustment. I had this on my 1700 and the rear carb float was well out of spec. Problem only occurred on tight right hand bends, misfire and then picked up. Run Baby Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I'll second that float adjustment tip. Happened to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Most likley is what the guys above said, the other possibility is fuel starvation due to the tank not having enough fuel in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
