**update: tried to fit it, looks to be different size anyway. Damn shame its a good carby.

new carby (again) 4 wires on loom, 2 on carby?

Excuse spelling too, iPhone is on an auto correct mission.

Coupe cutting out when turning left

Yay I'm back in the Gemini world, and naturally have car issues heheh, the fuel tank is full, pump is checked and working, but even a slight XOR Ed to the left will make it cut out and surge, running a Nikki carby. I'm in Sydney at the moment if anyone wants to have a crack at it :)
