Dellorto lean when left turn???
We have an 84 rx-12 with street port 48 deloorto setup. The problem is when we are at the track (doesn't happen in the street) and go to the left I run out of gasoline. The float are fine and we're running at 4.5 psi of gas. Any sugestions?

EFI... this is why carburators arent as good...
one of two things are happening, either the fuel sloshes away from the jets on lefts, or maybe when the fuel sloshes it closes the needle valve or something

Increasing your float level will help. Of course you have to balance the increase
with the flooding thats more possible with more fuel in the bowls.
I know mine will stumble on hard right hand turns and this is a known issue.
Adjusting the floats helps this a lot. A left hand stumble could be sloshing as
mentioned combined with weak pressure/flow of gas. Since these carbs require
low pressure (2.5 psi) to operate they need high flow to make up for it.
Somewhere upwards of 50 gph should be sufficient.

A return line will help the pump last longer and stabilize the fuel pressure more consistently. The Mallory 4309 is a good return style fpr, the Holley's are deadheads. It's a bit pricey running around 80 bucks but well worth it. You will also need a good fuel pressure gauge. ReSpeed sells one of the best.
