We experienced this, but getting the pivots in the orientation you have
them was the fix for us (in a TR-4). You can try a different top
orientation though, assuming you have the float bowls with the 3
screws. The front carb is likely the problem - under braking the fuel
goes to the front so the float drops. As soon as you stop braking the
float bowl is overfull.

What sort of Fuel pressure are you running? Should
be 1 1/2 to 3 psi, although a Spitfire driver and I
run 6 with no apparent ill effect. More than that
could be causing you some of this problem.<br>
