guys....i dunno why my engine stalls when i come out of a sharp corner sumtimes..its the quiet type of stalling where it just dies..
before i take a turn,usually ill press the clutch and engage 2nd gear before slowing down and turning without letting the clutch go..the car will then just stall after i exit the corner..izzit something wrong with the car or my driving?ive experience this both when i enter the corner slowly or at high speed..restarting the engine after that is okay but at times the engine will choke slightly when i try to restart..it only happens during corners..so far it has happened to me only 4 times in the last 3 months but 3 of it was in the last few days..a bit worried..can anyone help?thanks in advance...

What carb you got on that 1275?

Hs4's tend to empty their float's before you get round the corner so the engine dies due to lack of fuel. Either switch to a HIF carb(s) or check the angel of the float chamber.
