Jim Hill had the same problem. He had a great running engine with a bunch of hours on it, and hooked up a new "ram air" snorkel like Marty's. But he provided the ram only to the throat, rather than to the whole thing, including float bowl, and as soon as he leveled out and got up some speed, the engine quit. That's when he did a dead stick landing in a cotton field and tore the tail off. I don't remember exactly the carb he was running either, but it had a float bowl that ended up not being vented to the same air source as the carb inlet, which he suspects was the problem.
