RA462,

Angled floats are most often used in "Circle Track" applications due the "Cornering Centrifugal Forces" experienced by the fuel in the fuel bowls. Your vehicle experiences "Launching G Forces" that act on the fuel in the fuel bowls the same way, considering that they are now mounted sideways.

The fuel that is forced to the rear/side of the fuel bowl is holding the float in the upward/closed position until the reduction in G Forces and the fuel consumption allows the fuel level to drop enough for the floats to drop and the fuel pressure to overcome the needle and seat.

Hope this helps,
Larry S.
