<VV> engine cuts out making left turns

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Ray,
 
Two possible solutions .......
 
1.  Only make right turns.
 
2.  Kidding aside, it sounds like a fuel problem.   Clean your carbs, 
filters, etc.  While they are apart, check the float  levels.
 
1.  (Again.)  UPS and probably FedEx, etc. have a  policy of making as many 
right turns as possible.  (90% of the time.)   This saves time and fuel.  
They estimate this method saves over 28 Million  miles and three Million 
gallons of fuel each year.  I imagine part of the  reason is that the trucks do 
not need to wait as much due to oncoming traffic at  intersections.  They 
wait less time at traffic lights, especially where  right-on-red turns are 
allowed.  For those of you who live in urban and  suburban areas, think about 
those times when you have waited at an intersection  for 2, 3 or more traffic 
light cycles before making a left turn.   Apparently, they used to take 
practice runs with cars but now they have enough  data which includes traffic 
patterns, traffic light timing as well as  miles.
 
I can understand how this saves time and fuel but I am  not sure how it 
saves miles.  However, I can't argue with their published  stats.  No doubt the 
computerized route planning has a lot to do with  it.  You can see some of 
the stats here on an ABC News  link.

I remember a MythBusters segment years ago where they tested  this claim 
and they confirmed it.  (Nothing was exploded in this particular  segment.)
 
Ray, maybe your Corvair was owned by a UPS driver in its  past and only 
made right turns.  :-)

My 1963 84hp PG coupe has started  cutting out when making left turns.  It 
is 100% reliable and I can even  get it to happen in a sharp curve if I 
swerve left a little to increase  momentary G-force.

I'm assuming this is a carb flooding (or starvation)  issue but since it 
only happens in left turns I figure that must provide more  info than I can 
translate.

I'm trying to get this fixed in the next  couple of hours before going on a 
200 mile round trip, so any replies are much  appreciated!

Thanks!
