Justin;

got a question for you….Is the fuel pump a stock Honda unit? the stock one is a rectangular box about one inch wide and 1 1/2 tall.

the fuel pumps are know weak points on these and it’s not uncommon for them to be swapped out with regular electric fuel pumps.

Trouble is, most electric fuel pumps provide too much pressure. the stock one is about 1.5-3 psi, and even most low-pressure electric are 4-6.

If the line pressure from the pump is high, then, it’s possible that when combined with some centrifugal force it may force fuel through the float and flood the engine.

I’ve had this happen on other engines and installed a pressure regulator in line to deal with the issue.

Just a thought.

As it happens only when you’re moving it more difficult to diagnose as you’re about 25 feet away when it happens, right?

maybe after it occurs you could remove a spark plug for inspection prior to restarting to see if the plug is dry or possibly fuel-fouled and this may give you a clue as to whether its ignition, fuel or electrical control circuitry causing this.

Good luck.

It's only on right turns, which rules out the low fuel because the pickup is on the left.
It does completely die and have to be restarted.
I'm thinking it's got to be float height, fuel must dip below the main jet orifice when going around a right turn causing it to starve for fuel and
die.
