[Fot] SU HS6 problems during hard braking

[Jason Sukey]

Hello FOT,
     Running my GT6 at the PVGP historics this weekend.  I've sorted the
braking system and installed new tires since the last time out.  Now that
I'm actually able to brake hard, I'm suffering from what seems to be fuel
flooding, possible sloshing in the float bowls and dumping out the jet into
the intake...

During and immediately after a hard braking zone, the engine goes
completely "off" and I can smell raw fuel.  After a few seconds it clears
out and runs strong in all other conditions, no indication of over rich or
starving for fuel. Starts normally, no issues idling.

Original fuel level in the floats was about 1/8" below the top of the jet.
By reducing the fuel level in the bowls from there, the problem has
somewhat improved, but it's still significant.  Every session I adjust them
a little further, but I'm not sure this is the right fix...maybe a band aid.

Has anyone experienced this with the HS carbs?
