Im going to say yes.. When you turn, gas will flow to one side of the tank or the other, the pump is in the middle. I dont know about idle, you'd have to be really low on gas.

if that is the case then are you using a walbro pump.

if so are you using one with stock sock or are you using the aftermarket sock that is supplied. They have tendancy to do that. esepcailly when the fuel is low

yes its the sock filter all you need to do is use the one provided it works a little better than the factory one but it also has to fit correctly into your tank to get the most out of it what hapens it sucking in air when you turning and not the gas like it should causing sputtering.
