Default AM-35/-38, M-82 & M-105 engines

Hello everybody,

Here's a few questions for the experts at hand:

I keep reading that all M-105 engines had ordinary carburettors and thus suffered from neg. G cutouts and that the VK-107 was the only operational Klimov engine with fuel injection. Same for the early M-82 engines (M-82A and M-82F found on the La-5 and La-5F).

So, should all Yaks (excluding the Yak-3 VK107 and Yak-9U) and LaGGs as well as the La-5 & La-5F suffer from neg G cutouts as we see them on the early Spitfires now?
