[Roadsters] Left turn, dead roadster

[Bubba]

Check the cap, rotor and plug wires.  I once had a coil wire that was going 
bad, and it did that because of the centrifugal force when turning one way.

Also check wires along their length for chafing, not just the connections. 
Sometimes the insulation will wear off, and the centrifugal force thing can 
happen.

Also sticking carb float.
