Hey me and my buddy just broke in our fresh L30.It has a mild race cam i forgot the lift and duration.It has side draft carbs.It keeps the stock 4 speed tranny it's running a 2.68 inch exhaust.Anyways we were crusing around and some honda came by and reved at us so we were like ehh what the hell.So we catch up at the light the honda was like ill get u froma dig.Light green we go we are going going then at 7000 RPM the engine just about shuts off.So we stop check evrything We make another pass same thing 7000 Rpm shut off.Anyone kno the problem?

what do you mean just about shuts off?

Like it mis-fired? back fired into cylinder?

you probably need to ajust your fuel level floats inside the carbs I guessing they are probably Mikuni Solex's? I had a set on my AE86 and had a similar problem your probably suckin all the fuel out of the carbs and the floats are adj. too low.

It wont happen at a specific RPM if its the floats. Like specific repeated you know.

I was wonder about the ign system too, thats why I asked about his points, srsly though, I think he is just a troll..
