    How much fuel do you have in the tank?
    Mine was cutting out when going around RH corners with less than a 1/4 tank of fuel. Fixed it by replacing the fuel pump. All ok now.

    may sound like a dumb question but where is the swirl pot, also is the coil mounted by the dizzy, if not where abouts
