engine dies when turning right

Post by kylepiggy »

if i go into a round about or tight right hand bend the revs drop and the car splutters badly. i have a b172k and have ordered a full rebuild kit for the carb but could it be anything else will check fuel pump and the carb base when i overhaul it any help would be great

I'd say float height is wrong not keeping enough fuel in the carb bowl.
