What I meant is that the way you were driving wasn't putting the maximum side stress on the carb float, and that's what causes most hesitation in hard turns.
The float jambs on it's pivots in the float chamber, starving the engine for gas. Drive a little less dramatic, and you might experience a little carb hesitation. I used to teach Racing 101 at the local race track for young racers. Many of them learned less drama on turn entry resulted in quicker lap times.

You don't think the ONE example of how I have cornered my car is the best way to produce lateral g-forces.
Fine. Because that's not the only method I have used, and it still has never hessitated. So....take my word that I have cornered my car pretty darn hard and that it has done fine. Stop criticizing me for how I drive and stop criticizing my car. It is insulting and condescending. I do not appriciate it. |

Wow, so sensitive.
I never criticized your car, I criticized your driving.
It was the method you mentioned, that according to you, had to stress the carb so much. |

I hooked up the vacuum advance to the carb spacer and not the carb itself. I got her fired up and introduced a fair amount of fuel into the insides of the engine. Going to do an oil change right about now. I realize the vacuum advance hooks up to the nipple towards the bottom of the carb.
Whats supposed to screw into the carb spacer? Not having anything covering it is like having a wicked vacuum leak and the idle sky rockets until you cover up that hole.

The nipple on the spacer is usually used for a PCV valve connection.
