Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue with their FC before?

I was on track with my FC and every sharp left turn it seems to cut out and then as soon as I was out the corner it would be back to normal. Now I had well over 3/4 tank full of petrol so I'm sure it's not that - any idea what it could be?

Thanks

This is a common problem on fd's but never with that much fuel left. Usually around a 1/4 track I get fuel surge on tight left handers. This is solved by either a baffle tank fitted into the fuel tank or going the swirl pot route.

Yea that's something I would expect if I had around 1/4 tank of fuel but with an almost full tank I'm not sure what it could be! :(

I would get in and check your pick up for the fuel pump, also fuel filter been changed recently?

Will do! That's my plans for this weekend, thanks for the advice man - much appreciated!

Tbh i haven't replaced the fuel filter since it landed from Japan, so that's on the list also!

money on your fuel filter then, I do mine every 10k and would do it more often if it wasn't such a bitch to access.
