<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">Yup.<div>Had that problem. Floats must “face” fore and aft, meaning the pivot points across the car. WIth pivots at an angle to the car we first tried to overcome the apparent starvation in turns by increasing the fuel pressure, which just made things worse. Fuel pressure at 2 1/2 psi and fore/aft floats works well.</div><div>Thanks.,</div><div>Phil <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Mar 17, 2021, at 12:41 PM, rek46 via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div>

<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;">NO GROSSS JETS...lousy and not for competition....Use GOOD/New old style floats....you need positive open and close.....heres a tip..check your float direction for best perf....meaning , are you having brake to accel. probs on heavy brake corners? You prob have each float facing toward center...not best....Solved by making both floats face same direction(frt. or back)....rick</span></div>
