Have been having a bad year at the strip. The last three races the car has been dieing at the starting line. The lights come down and I go from idle to wot and loose all power. I thought it might be carb problems so I rejetted the carb to 74's in front and 76's in the rear, 40's for the power valves and 50cc accelerator's. That did not do it. First run Sunday was good then everything went down hill. On the second run went from 13.71 to 16.49. Car died coming out of the burnout box and my fuel tank made a heck of a noise. Got back to the pits poped the fuel tank door and thought it would tear my hand off eith all the pressure. The third run it died coming off the starting line and at about the 300ft mark started loosing power. Hung my head in shame,only 30mph in the 1/4 compared to 101 ont he first run. Got back to the shop pulled the tank vent line off and ran air through it. everything was clear.
If anyone has had a similar problem what did you find.
