Seems turbo carbs tend to be susceptible to this sort of  thing.    Check
for black smoke out the tail pipe and sooty  plugs.   

Then, if any of these symptoms are confirmed, look  into one of the fuel
pressure regulators the vendors sell.

And first check to see if your own regulator/fuel filter (standard on  
Turbo-charged Corvairs) is correctly plumbed and operating. If the return line  is 
missing/plugged, or if the filter/regulator is missing, be suspicious of too  
much pressure at the carb inlet.
