Low g pushovers can produce rich cut

This is not a new phenomenum for carburettor equipped piston engines. I believe that early models of the Spitfire had a similar problem in dog fights with the Me109. German pilots were able to evade the Spitfire by pushing over into a steep dive; the Me109 had a fuel injection system not the float chamber equipped carburettor of the Spitfire.
