Like the title says I have a 1982 RX7 that when i turn left it will shut off on me. Now it doesn't happen every time but when it does if i straighten the car up real quick the power is restored and i continue on my way, has anyone else experienced this or know what is happening and how to fix it?

welcome to the board.

does it have a Holley carburetor?

lshultz

It has the original carburetor. The carburetor has been rebuilt and the issue still remains. Could it be an electrical issue or is it most likely a fuel issue?

most likely fuel

who rebuilt the carb? you? also, when the carb was reinstalled, was the float levels adjusted to be in the sight glass?

lshultz

i did rebuild the carb myself. i did adjust the floats as specified. i will be honest it was my first carb rebuild so i could have made a mistake. the shutting off is why i rebuilt the carb.

when it shuts off does it stutter, buck or misfire before the engine dies or does it just die?

lshultz

it loses all power. i can have the pedal to the floor and when i turn it will shut off. when i feel it happen i straighten the car up and it will accelerate and drive as if nothing was wrong.

i'm still thinking the floats are the issue.

what pump setup do you have? i guess some people get/got relief by adjusting the fuel pressure.

everything on the car is what it had when it came from the factory. the symptoms i have come and go and it doesn't matter how i turn left. i can take a nice easy turn and it will do the same thing. i guess i can try to go through the entire furl system and change parts and see if that helps.
