Mike,
just for testing:
Losen the fuel lines from the fender, bend them over and fix them on the
other side of the carb on the valve cover and go for a test ride and see if
there is a change.
Would be interesting to see if the carbs might starve on right handers.
Cheers
Chris

After having a look on your photo I would think the trouble is caused by
your fuel lines.
They are going horizontal towards the carbs beginning by the fender.
The centrifugal forces do have effect on the fuel, so your engine does
starve fuel on a left hander and might flood on a right hander.
To cure this I would put the feeding line to the rear carb, starting from
the battery box area and then do a short connector UNDER the intake trumpets
to the front carb.
Also check the pressure of your fuel pump. Maybe the pressure is too low.
Cheers
Chris

I adjusted the floats to 1/8". Ran the car. It just dies on a left hand
turn. It runs great on a right hand turn and a straight line.

Here is what I
have done with some great input from several FOT folks. I am
narrowing down
the problems some what.
Here is what I have done. As they say
start from a
measurable starting point.
* checked points and timing
*
re-centered
the needles (the front carb was sticking - fixed now)
* changed
from gross
jets to needles supplied from Joe Curto
* set the floats to 3/16"
*
installed vent lines
car runs great in a straight line. It seems to be
loading up on left hand turns. I am attaching a photo of the carb set up.
Based on the many FOT posts on re positioning the floats should i do that
next. It loaded up so badly the car stopped. Should i change the float
levels to 1/8". I am I missing something obvious?? I am trying to sort as
much of this out as I can before I go to Seattle Thursday for the Historics.
Thanks for any input.
Mike Mehl
