torxxx Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 So I posted about a week ago about my car cutting out on corners.. Someone said I need to rebuild my carb cuz the float level is too low.. I drove around like a madman testing my theories and found that my car only cuts out, sputters, hesistates (like water in the gas) on left hand turns... On right handers everything is fine? Is this still the float being too low, or is it something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Actually - unless you have messed with the carb internally it's not likely to be off.... more than likely your fuel pump can't keep up, or your filters are plugged - try a new air filter too - this may help a bit. If these cheap things don't help - rip the thing off and replace it with a weber. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The same thing happened to a Celica I had in Phoenix way back when. I was running the gas with the alcohol mix. I thought it was the 120 degree heat, but it turned out to be the fuel. I siphoned it all out (sold it to my neighbor for his Chevy), replaced it with a different brand of gas, voila..instant success, problem solved.

raverjames21 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 My car sputters and dies around right turns only. I have been told it is the carb float so I am just gonna replace the carb. I am not sure if yours is the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
