I'm not sure. I replaced the engine mounts, which I think were the original ones, and they did have some minor separation. This didn't help. I'm not sure where to look for pinching, but I'll head outside in a minute and have a look around under the bonnet.
Yes, it's the Z24 with a carburetor. That's interesting, because I'm sure I read somewhere online a few years ago about a different car that was cutting out when turning in one direction, and that there was a problem with the fuel float. When mine started playing up, I went looking for that article, but couldn't find it again. Started thinking I miss remembered it.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 8:35 pmIs it a Z24 or Z24i? If it's the carbureted version, you could have a problem in the fuel bowl too.
Looking in the engine bay, there's nothing obvious around the fuel lines.
Been a very long time, but my recollection is that those carbs had a really weird fuel-bowl shape. So you may be having a "slosh" issue where the float level is low or the float is sticky and turning left is causing one or both jets to be uncovered. I'd pull whatever spark plug is handiest and see if you have a white or very pale burn. If so, it's running lean and a float issue may very well be responsible.Earl Of Locksley wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 9:24 pmYes, it's the Z24 with a carburetor.

Thanks. I'll check it out and let you know what I find.Been a very long time, but my recollection is that those carbs had a really weird fuel-bowl shape.
