Default Anyone help me out with a problem?

I have just purchased an rb tm 323 engine, I have broken it in and it runs strong in a straight line, however it leans (and stalls) when I make a left turn, and richens itself to almost stalling when I turn right. I have tried fuel filter, check valve in pressure line, different loops,hooks,hoops in fuel line and nothing made a noticable improvement. Have you had this problem, do you have any aftermarket things on yours? ie...fuel filters, line, line length?
Thanks for any help you can give me as I have already missed 2 races dues to this problem
Thanks Again
Parker.

No I haven't tried another tank as of yet, I don't think I should have to run a different tank as this is not a problem all revo owners are having, just an unfortunate few. I have checked the tank for leaks and there are none present, I have alos changed the tank O-Ring just to be safe.As far as me taking it back to my LHS, I live in Canada and bought this engine via the internet through an E-Bay Store, due to the fact that I could not find it anywhere in Canada, so I figure as far as warranty on it goes I'm SOL. I have tried shortening my fuel line so it's only as long as it needs to be, but that made the problem worse. I must add also After my first post I went to fiddle with it some more, and noticed that after it leans itself out, draning the fuel line, when I try to restart it if I open the throttle with the remote the gas drains away from the carb, if I let go of the fuel on remote it sucks towards engine. Is this normal for this to do it? I am not an rc mechanic nor do I claim to be so any help is appreciated. Thanks to the replys so far.
Thanks
Parker

your problem is the tank. it might be difficult but bet you a tank that has a clunk in like they use in planes. buggy racers coil there fuel line to fix this problem, but a clunk will be best in the long run

Good day,
Just to update ya on this f'n problem. I mounted the fuel tank in between the front body posts and it ran like a dream, no lean left, no rich right, no leaning at 1/2 tank like others complain of. My question other than ***, is why would this work better when the tank is ahead of the engine, and how do I remedy this problem as I run an rc solution roll cage and mounting the tank up front would be impossible. And a body would never clear it if it was up there. Any comments or input is greatly appreciated as at this point i'm up for any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks
Parker
