Sounds like a clogged strainer. I have had lots of experience with broken 
pickup tubes, and their symptoms are usually that the car will die with any 
sudden right turns. A clogged strainer will give you a delayed 
reaction...turn a sharp corner, then it sputters. Or, on long sweeping 
corners like you've described, it will do it. Perhaps your pickup tube just 
has a hole in it...hard to say for sure. Just check the strainer and go from 
there.
