Title: intermittant problem with Lucrezia
Post by: AussiXS11G on October 22, 2009, 09:25:43 AM

I've been raving about a problem on the UK site with good suggestions from folks there - I hadn't been able to identify if fuel or spark was the issue until yesterday............ ???
OK - found the problem -
I had failed to mention that the sssttuutttter only seems to happen when the tank is getting close to reserve - and yesterday the problem occurred long enough for me to identify that it was indeed fuel (cooler exhausts on 3&4)
So - I have Pingel fuel taps and the way my fuel lines have been routed to the carbs has allowed an air bubble to form when fuel is low...............
HURRAH!! ;D
now to re sort the fuel lines and thanks for your input fellows

 only reason I ask is I was under my tank the other day & the way my fuel filters sit  in the lines I have air bubbles in mine with no probs

Maybe you are riding faster than the fuel can get to the motor  ;D ;D
