Starting line lull after start??
I have a problem and I am not sure what this could be doing this but when I leave the start the car leaves then has a little lull you might say then goes again?
I have a video of it after take off you can see the front of the car drop when it does this then pick back up after the lull if we can call it that. Any Info would be appreciated. Thxs Dale Rethke |

Re: Starting line lull after start??
judging by the black smoke under the car when it happens it may just be a fuel slosh issue. what carb is on it? sometimes all it takes is an extention on vent tubes

Floats too high?

Accellerator pump duration is too long and is continuing after the main circuit is fully active?
I like the "floats too high" encouraging "slosh out the vents" theory as well.

Thanks for the reply everyone
It has the AVS carb on it as you probably know so I will give this input a try. You really notice it more when you watch the video then being in the car it seems. Thxs again all |

I had similar issue. My problem was the floats were too high.
