Bristol stalls on heavy braking

Mine does that occasionally, it’s just because the fuel in the float chambers tips forward , away from the jets. Itll restart normally afterwards.
. It’ll also happen on cornering at high speeds eg really, really fast round a roundabout, or on the circuit, for same reason. The engine cuts out briefly and spectators may report a flash of flame from the exhaust. Vroom vroom!
