Have you purged the fuel line? Does it sound like air is getting into the pump?

some carburetors are especially sensitive to the angle at which they're operating; an electric fuel pump may help, or a switch to a throttle body injection system. A different brand of carburetor might be the ticket also.

I don't know of a carb that will handle negative G's. :D
