Don't forget that changing the float height will change the mixture unless
you also change the needle position.  If you raise the fuel depth in the
bowl by decreasing the float height, less "depression" will be needed to
suck an equivalent amount of fuel up the jet and around the needle, and your
engine will run richer.  Conversely, increasing the float height will lower
the fuel depth in the bowl, more "depression" will be needed to draw the
fuel up the jet, and the engine will run leaner.

The float height is the coarse adjustment, and the needle (or jet) position
is the fine adjustment.

Have you considered that your problem may be electrical?  If your engine is
under heavy load in a high speed turn, you may be breaking a connection
somewhere.  I would think fuel issues would take multiple tens of seconds to
appear, while electrical issues are pretty much instantaneous.

Of course, I could be completely wrong here...
