Fuel Starvation
Discussion
Hi Folks
We took a TR7 fitted with a Dolly Sprint engine on it's first track day last weekend and had great fun with the car apart from a fuelling problem.
When exiting hard right handers the car would loose power for a few seconds then pick up again. Our thinking is fuel starvation to the carbs. It's running the standard twin SU's on a blueprinted engine putting out about 130bhp.
What's the recommended solution to this? Uprated fuel pump? Also heard something about using Cooper S float chambers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
James
