It is not a two-stage process. What you are describing are two separate phenomena, occurring sequentially.

A lean mixture cutout is not necessarily followed by a rich mixture cutout.

Here this genius tries some Negative G's in a carburetor C172. This is why I don't rent airplanes.

He experiences a lean cut out. Listen to the engine. As soon as Negative G are applied, the engine quits and restarts at the end.

Yes, you can see as soon as the float comes up, it cuts the flow of fuel to the engine.
