Question hard turn + idle = stalling?

This is a carb tuning question. When making tight turns at idle (making a hard U-turn in town, for example), the engine will try to stall. Is it flooding? Is it starving? Does anyone else have this problem?

Keeping the revs up during the U-turn will obviously prevent this. If nobody's around I can always goose the throttle and make one of those "fast & fun" U-turns, but that's another story... I digress.

Is there a simple solution to this problem or is it simply a nature of the beast. I haven't tuned a carb since 1989 and even then I didn't know what I was doing.
