Your reading comprehension certainly leaves a lot to be desired Eugene. So nice of you to repeat what I already said
No it was not a repeat. It was to clearly put out what happens in a float bowl type carburetor when subjected to negative G.

You wrongly stated it was a "two stage" event with the implication being it takes time.

No, it happens almost immediately and is two separate events brought about by subjecting the fuel metering system to negative G.

In a lean cut out, it immediately quits but will restart as soon as fuel is delivered.

A rich cut out immediately begins skipping and then quits.... It does not restart immediately and delivery of more fuel only prolongs the restart.

Even a pressure carb or TBI will have issues under Negative G. It is a distinct disadvantage for piston power fighters using such a metering system.

Only a direct injection metering system is immune to accelerations.
