[Roadsters] Left turn, dead roadster

[Matthew A. Smith]

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I have been doing some wiring
changes recently and may have knocked something loose under the dash or near
the starter. Also, I recently put on new Accel plug wires, so that will be
checked too. Maybe I didn't get the end connector on quite right. 
Matt

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.
