Default I-16/ I-153 Engine Problem

I have noticed that the I-16 and I-153 have the tendency for the engine to cut out under negative-g. I haven't found a way to restart said engines in flight. I take it this is due to the engines being carburetted instead of fuel injected, but the spitfire and hurricane (2 aircraft I'm sure are also carburetted) dont cut out under the same conditions. Can anyone explain this to me?
