Another problem lol since fitting my carbs again!! right its either me going to quick? or a problem with my servo? Right im using a standard xe manifold chopped and rewelded to fit my carbs now the servo fitting has been moved due to the size of the manifold onto the side ( i will get a pic ) But ive been told if that was the problem the pedal would just be hard?? but as i said if im going quick and have to hit the brakes hard it locks up now it never did that before? any help appreciated again!!:thumb:

If the servo was at fault the brakes would be rubbish/hard usualy.

Id say back off your harsh breaking lol.

Carbs could be causing a higher vacuum somehow making it easier to lock up, but basically as said above, you're doing it wrong lol

Probably waaay off the mark here, but maybe the carbs provide a better/stronger vacuum than the original setup and therefore the vac assistance on the servo is greater equalling better braking power, so youre more likely to lock up the wheels with a sharp stab on the scaredy pedal than before?

As said just a wild stab in the dark, but it sounds plausible, till someone comes and shoots me down in flames lol

It indeed could be^ It could be doing that slight bit more, but meh, ABS!
