Mikuni-Solex float bowl baffles

[d240zx2]

Turn 10 at Texas World Speedway is a 180 degree right-hander with about a 100 foot radius. Speed through this turn is approximately 35 mph and the g-forces are to the left.

My Mikuni fuel pick-ups are on the engine side of the carb. Yep, the centrifugal force of the lengthy, relatively hi-G turn sloshes all the fuel away from the ports.

Question: Does anyone know where I can find information on constructing baffles to minimize this fuel starvation problem? I've used the search function but not found any key-word matches.

Thanks in advance.

Try Wolfcreek Racing or Dave Rebello. Either can help you solve this problem.

It's not starvation that is the problem, it is flooding. On right handers the fuel sloshes out the float bowl vents and goes into the engine. A really good float level adjustment will minimize the issue as much as possible, but Tom Holt posted a much better fix a couple years back in this thread:
