Reply to "motor dies on hard braking"

joules"Racing is Life, anything before or after is just waiting" - Steve McQueen

Under hard braking, fuel is sloshed forward
in the rear float bowl, flowing through the vent, dribbling onto the butterflies and into the intake, and the carb suddenly goes way rich, flooding the engine and it quits.

As you suggest drop the float, you probably don't kick in the secondaries very often anyway.

Another trick that has worked for some people is extending the vent tube, or connecting the front and rear together so fuel sloshes into the primary bowl.
