Hard turns kill engine.

On my '85 c10 305 th350, when I make a hard turn, sometimes the engine dies, but fires back up with a turn of the key. Why does this happen? Is there a way to fix it? Thanks.

Float is likely too high.

Has the carb been apart lately?

Before you pull it apart look for evidence of fuel on either side of the carb at the gasket level.
Or take a pic.
Easy to see.
