Leaning problem..

Put a can of seafoam into my tank. I am experiencing leaning at the top of 3rd gear at about 6K RPM and also under heavy acceleration...Could this be the culprit?

I have also just done a carb rebuild...if my floats aren't set correctly i know this could be an issue...

Also if the fuel filter is clogged would this be a symptom?


I''m really lucky the leaning hasn't caused a detonation to the apex'. O_O

I don't think the SeaFoam would cause leaning like that... or at least it would happen more immediatly I'd think...

As for your carb, that may be a problem... but you didn't mess with your floats right?

I'd agreee with AWS, fuel filter sounds like it could be clogged or something..

What seats? :wconfused *cannot shake thinking of actual seats, valve seats, and seat seats lol*
