Default 250cc Cornering issue..

Hi all, we picked up a coolster 150 last year and after a bit of fun we picked up a 250cc and with some modification/welding/shoehorning and kicking, managed to get it in...
Everything went well and after a bit of playing with roller weights and the like it behaves the way we want, really torquey down low with little high speed, cause we only run it in mud or in fields..
The problem comes with hard cornering, turning/drifting/donutting, going left is fine but try to do it the other way and the buggy splutters badly as if she's not getting fuel..
We modified the inlet manifold to level the carb out as when we fitted the new engine it meant the carb was off level a bit, but this did'nt help..

Anyone have any ideas??

One other thing, when we fitted the petrol tank we did'nt use the original and the one we are using does'nt use the vacuum fuel pump, it's just gravity fed, do you think modifying it to run the vacuum pump would help?

Thanks...
