I finally got the the point when my project car is running well and I have one last issue I need to address. The engine cuts out / dies when going around a corner. This is with a full tank of gas. I can make a u-turn and it it will sputter and die 1-2 seconds and then roar back to life. I can also go around a corner at speed and the engine will sputter/ backfire out the exhaust for a brief second before running regularly again. It doesn't matter left or right turn. Anyone have any theories?
Stock '71 w/ Djet. This is on my build thread car so nearly everything has been gone through or replaced. New fuel system, clean tank etc. Thanks http://w.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=248776 |

I once had the condenser (little silver can on the side of the dizzy) break off of its mount and fall on top of the engine, still connected to the wire.
It would run fine sitting or driving flat, but when I turned a corner it would roll around on the engine tins and the engine would cut out. |
