Hello,
I have been autoxing for along time but this will be my first time really autoxing my 914. The car is a mostly stock 74 1.8, with konis and sticky street rubber and was wondering how much fuel I should run. I aligned it and took it for a spin and did some LONG sweeping turns and on a few of the turns I had fuel cut out. Now, I haven't been able to test LONG left hand turns yet but it is happening on the right hand cloverleafs. Even with a full tank I had it happen so I guess I am asking is if this is common? If it is common, are there any tricks besides a fuel cell or custom baffling a stock tank? If it isn't common, what would you be looking into? One thing I can think of is the Air Flow Meter(flapper door) closing under side loads. Kyle |

Not only should you worry about fuel starvation but also oil starvation as well.
I would run enough gas so the light does not go on in a hard turn. I can get the light on with WAY over 1/2 tank. However my carbs don't much care. |
