Default Cossie Mis-fire

Only seems to mis-fire when you give it the biggie and also when accelerating round sharp corners. I tried cleaning the plugs and the dizzy and all the usual stuff but still no luck. The exhaust also flames when it mis-fires. Any ideas anyone???

PS. The engine is running standard power...

Sharp corners sounds like fuel surge!! Does it do it with a full tank???
