carb flooding!
A strange problem- my carb floods only when cornering at moderate to high rates, with higher RPMs. Just driving through traffic, not a problem. But if I am "hauling the mail" around an entrance ramp, I can watch the air/fuel ration gauge get richer and richer until the engine begins to sputter and die. It clears out to normal after the car straightens out.

Stock AC mechanical fuel pump, maybe 3000 miles on it. Maybe six months ago, new plastic float installed in the carb. Been playing with the carb calibrations, using my new air/fuel meter. I've had the air horn off it a jillion times in the last couple months to try different jets/rods/float settings/power valve springs, fuel inlet valves.......
I thought I finally had it as good as it could be, and now this problem rears it's ugly head.
