Talking help urgently needed

hi all bought myself a 440 on a j plate yes 22 years old lol the other day only got 56k on the clock !!!

any way my problem is it runs fine drives fine, but this is the strange bit cuts out under hard cornering????? as soon as you straighten up cuts back in off we go seems like fuel starvation, i had it running on the spot today, running spot on, its had new lead plugs and service, tho air filter is dirty so will need changing, service was done before i got it, any help would be great as i use the car for work oh its on carb to

thanks

fill the tank to the top and try it , it should run perfectly , and see if it gets worse and worse as the tank empties , see how low you can run the fuel down ...
that will prove if it is the fuel swirl pot in the tank or not .

Does it do it if you just turn the wheel to full lock when stationary? Or do you have to be moving. Might be nipping a fuel pipe.

yes the swirl pot is part of the sender . so , maybe as the engine moves in it's mounts the wiring is rubbing on something and shorting out ?

Something ignition-related shorting out as the engine moves on cornering?

Or a broken wire or earth cable that allows current normally but is pulled apart when the engine moves?

I don't know where the fuse box is on these (and does it have any form of ECU?). Could there be some water that's leaked inside which runs onto anything like this in hard cornering?
