Subject: Re: 82 900 stalls on left turn under acceleration


Just one of many possible answers. The 900 has a roll over fuel shut off valve. If it thinks it has rolled over, possibly fooled by acceleration on a turn, it will cut off the fuel. Another possibility, which is much easier to identify, is that the fuel pump is mounted wrong and when you make a left turn with a less than full tank it sucks air. If this does not happen on a full tank, you have your answer. I hope this information helps.
