Yes it's the I6/200 with Carter YF(who the hecks Kreskin?). It does happen more on bumpy turns than smooth ones. I had the problem some before the rebuild. They said they put a new float in. It ran great for awhile but now it's fouled up. I still need rings and that problems been getting worse to the point that I simply pulled the air filter, left the breather element in tho. Breather is soaked with oil Air filter was pretty black. I'm begining to think I need to replace the plugs and filters every week. Prolly wouldn't hurt. :-)
: ...You don't mention the engine/carb, but I suspect it's six w/ the Carter YF(they call me Kreskin...LOL). Those carbs have the jet located where a left turn will slosh gas away from it. That causes the hiccup. It would be especially bad pulling out of a driveway where the car bounces a little. Of course, heat-soak combined with the low float level will cause the gas to bubble off, leading to hot-start problems. Did the problem pop up right after the rebuild?
