Default Engine die after pit stop



Hi, I just want to know why, in the middle of a race, I refuel my buggy in a pit stop, and after that, when I'm going back to the track to continue the race, the engine die.
After I start it again (sometimes 1 or 2 times), everything is ok.
Thanks</p>

does it die right away, or do you get a half lap/lap in before it dies?

If it doesn't die right away/everytime does it lean bog for several laps afterwards?

In general it die after leaving the pit stop, maybe after doing 20 to 30 feet.
Sometimes, when the engine not die, it bog for some laps, like the engine need to close half turn on hsn.
I'm having this problem a lot in the last races.
Engines are new, 3 or 4 months old.
One RBS5 in a buggy, and one RB928 in a truggy.
Thanks</p>

rather than type it all out, i found an article for you. Hopefully this works....

go down to where it says "the dreaded full tank lean bog" and read through that, it talks about fuel getting into the pressure side of your fuel lines.
