Bob Lang partially uncovered what might be happening here, referring to 
something that Kastner once wrote about this.  So I asked KK and he said:

"Fuel slosh when making certain turns causes the vent hole in the carbs to get 
covered, depriving fuel from entering the bowls. The top of the carbs can be 
turned so the vent is on another side, as I recall."

(DT) This might explain why the early sixes have this going on, as the later 
carbs vented via hoses to the carbon canister. No?
Doesn't explain the half tank theory, but it's a start!

I replied to this one off list, but I believe Kastner covered this topic 
in one of the books. In short, they modified the float bowl so that the 
float cannot droop all the way down, but it can go low enough to get full 
fuel flow from the needle valve.

I can't recall which book, though. Oh well...
