Stalls in turns

During hard turns/quick maneuvers my stock 250 stalls/looses power. No mods to engine or carb. Pertronix in dissy is the only change from stock. Any ideas on what to fix/change is welcome. I first noticed this when I tried to autocross my Maverick a couple of months ago and it stalled in a turn. Saturday I made a u-turn and it did it again. Speed was about 15mph. Both were lefts. :help:

what carb?

I'd start by checking the float level.
Perhaps it's stuck or something.

The Maverick has the stock carb for a 250. Runs great the rest of the time. Just stalls in turns.

Again remove the carb top & check for the float binding on the carb body. Set float level slightly higher than specs.
Check your fuel pressure & fix as necessary. Falcon Man

Float check it is. Will do that. Thanks :thanks:

Yup, most likely the fuel float. Could be set too low, or even need to be replaced.

Float is original and who know when the carb was rebuilt. I've owned the car since I joined this forum and not touched it, so it's time.. Thanks

Yeah, it's probably time. I need to rebuild mine this winter. Been 4 years (i think).

sounds like what I had, JackFish might also reconize it too, and yes it is the carb float, I have found that my adding a slight tilt to my float I can keep the same height but loose that stall problem...

just a did a rebuild kit myself on my pony 1100 and works alot better even tho it's only 1.5 yrs old (from pony)

I wasn't sure which carb you had
You have the Carter RBS if your mavericks a 71 I believe?
Every carter I have rebuilt are set about 1/4" lower then recommended (maybe over the years it bends itself down?), not sure why. If your hot on the pedal and take it racing at times I would raise the float to not risk starving it., if it's a carter yf raise the float and loosen the metering rod to feed the engine more and to not kill it on turns.

the rbs/yf carters starve at long WOT runs/sharpturns/ unless you take it past spec settings.

my 2 cents

Thanks. That is good to know. I have never even had the air cleaner off this thing so I'll have to look at the carb to I.D. it, but yes it is a 1971, 250. I'd like to swap it over to a Holley/Weber 2 bbl some time, but hood clearance is the bigger issue with the 250. For now a 1 bbl is just fine. :thanks:

sure thing, are you a forum member over at mmb.maverick.to?

i have a holley 1940 you can have when i go to pick up the head, its just taking up room i have no use for it, try the carb it made a difference when i swaped it over my stock carb

WOW, thank you . That's great.. Ok, I'll buy lunch. .

its still a single barrel carb but its better
