Joe, the "turn cut-out" is exactly that....cut out....cut off...of
fuel....because the fuel in the bowl moves sideways and and UNCOVERS the JET.....
The easiest way to remedy this is to RAISE the float level.....but then a car
that is set up like this, will push fuel out the vent in a LONG hard corner
and cause the engne to FLOOD / run rich / sputter / etc.. That's the reason
for the "extended bowl vents"
The "real" fix for this is to do one of 2 things...
A Re-locate the jets in the bowl [ Steve Goodman / Seth Emerson are 2 that
do / used to do this].
B Use the OTTO carb rotator kit....[ your favorite vendor].

ps I always just raise the float level 1/8" works for the street...
