every time i race my moke around a left hand bend, the car suffers from fuel starvation. if i go really really fast around a corner it almost cuts out. i have never had this problem on any of my other minis. i understand the reason why it happens but i was wondering if there is any one that can tell me a way to fix this.

Check your float level, maybe it's too low. :wink:

quite often people have the wrong float lid on their carbs,,,the pivot pin for the float should reside basically almost straight across/side ways,,,so the float pivots forwards not sideways

know what i mean?, check it to see where the pivot is, you may need to change the lid to another or at least re-position it

or, as the good doc says, maybe too low a level setting

:-)
