Hi Alan,
Thats a blow for for us !!!
They should have bowsprits and topsails too and leak like a seive.
I remember sitting on the head getting wet every time the bow dipped in the swell.
( 1896 boat painted black you could see out through the planks )
For everyone else
Back to the Su bject,
I used to use a D2 on the Type 65 it always missfired on hard cornering but only one way.
Right hand corners especially roundabouts.
The factory had problems which were cured with twin float chambers.
Float level is also critical, I have tried to make sure the float chamber is forward so that the mixture enriches going up hill and leans off going down.
Fuel surge, float jamming or piston jamming can cause problems.
A go pro type camera looking at the piston / butterfly could give a bit more usefull information.
I am back to using a semi downdraft but have not given it the hard cornering trial since the change.

Time to play with the lathe again.
Its been a bit damp down in The We tcountry !!
I have 6500 Rpm available.
I have used downdraft Zeniths and had a high speed missfire which cleared as soon as I slowed down a bit this was caused by Carb Icing.
Even with the Nippy Hotspot.
