If it is a hard die(like turned off ignition) does it always immediately restart with the wheels turned hard left?
Bottom line; analyzing the symtoms more throughly will lead you to carb or an electrical short that is shutting down ign with wheels hard over

I have not been able to test a right turn yet, but it definitely sputters and shuts off. Then it takes a few cranks to start back up, after a blip of the throttle.
The wheel position as no effect on restart.
I lowered the floats a tad in the carb (not a simple task - had to take apart the carb to access the floats- so not a "tweak and test" process.)
Still shuts off after a turn.
I think i may look into EFI - this carb thing is a PITA

After reading the manual a little more, it recommends checking the fuel pressure because of the symptoms i am experiencing...so now i'm back to square one. Now i have to find a fuel pressure gauge....
