Re: First Track Day

I ran a fuel pump on my last storm. It was using the older 16 litre tank, and I found that the fuel tap was sometimes pulled closed against the vacuum by the "pull" of the fuel pump, closing the diaphragm and starving it of fuel. To see if it's that causing your fuel starvation problem, t...

Re: First Track Day

It was at RAF Odiham via their motorcycle club - 3/4 mile straight!

Re: First Track Day

Only a couple of glitches 1. At the end of the (3/4mile) straight, she would sometimes splutter, but going WOT would clear it and she’d just take off.
