I have a progressive carb on my motor. When ever I jump my buggy it cuts out for a few seconds. The bigger I jump the longer it cuts out. You can see it in the video of me trying to climb scooby that afterburnt posted. Even though the lights flickered on the second climb I don't think it's a electrical problem, I just knock a wire loose on that jump.
Does anybody have any advice on how to fix this problem.
BTW I mean advice besides, putting fuel injection on or switching to suby power. :lol: :roll: :lol:

I used to run a progressive on my 1.8 carbed suby. Raw fuel will splash over into the throat. There is a vent tube that needs to be re-routed using a barbed fitting and small hose to route it externally. It's been a while but I will look for more info.
