In practice and the first qual, I was able to make 7 min easy. The only change I made was to put on a new clean outer air filter. This doesn't seem right to me. I have no fuel tank or line leaks. I don't know what else could have caused this. Any ideas?
Sounds a bit weird
If it was running that rich you would have noticed it in the performance for sure, and if it wasn't leaking fuel, where did it go ???
You did fill it up before the heat right ?? Sorry, but I had to ask that
The only thing I can think of is the spring on the tank lid is broken / faulty and the lid is lifting slightly and fuel is splashing out on turns etc. You would think it would definitely effect performance if the lid was not sealing, but who knows with these little buggers. They can pull some weird tricks sometimes. Check the spring and O ring seal anyway. Other than that I'm stumped too.
