Ok im my shit box
when i go round left had corners really hard the car splutters hard core and slows down till going strait again
at firs it htough it could be cause i didnt have much fuel in the tank but it does it any time
also though it could be something to do with all the oil in teh air filter but even when its all cleaned out is does it
any ideas??? |

| Its because Nikki carbys have side pivot floats. You go around one corner it floods the bowl, you go around the other and it cuts of the fuel delivery into the bowl. |
