SCRX Flooding when tipped Will this work?

[BlgsRX-1mtn]

He guys after the last trip out my sled spent some time tipped to the left and flodded out. The SC kit is designed to shut the fuel pump off if the Engine insn't running but, all the fuel in the carbs drained back into the Charge tube via the float bowl vent tube.

I am considering the install of one of these check valves to fix it www.ark-plas.com/products/product_subcl ... ortStart=3. Do any of you think this might screw up the pressure going to the carbs? I was thinking of the last one listed which is; a 3/8" by 3/8" poplypropolyne body with a viton diaphragm. Both products are fuel resistant and are used daily in refinery processes. The application range is from 1 to 150 PSI.

Hopefully this will stop the only drawback I have found so far on the SC unit.

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work as long as it will open at whatever the minimum pressure of your fuel system is, Ken.

If you talking about putting them in the float bowl vent lines FORGET IT!

The only time the foats would get any air would be under boost and that would be a big problem, no venting of the float bowl off boost would mean NO fuel to engine off boost.

Sorry to rain on your parade.

Jim Bob, your floats are to high. This is a common problem in the mountains with boost. You need to lower them. You can go quite a ways out of spec. Ryan just moved his to 17mm and fixed his.
