'Miss Schillings Orifice' the piece you mentioned only deleayed the effect, you still got rich / lean cutouts.
Here's some proof..
A Mk V in 1941 at Castle Bromwich, flown by Alex Henshaw, suffering negative G cutouts, look for puffs of black smoke and listen to the engine. It misfires when inverted.

Sounds like a big misunderstanding here, I thought you meant severe cutouts that the Mk 1 had.
I did imply that it wasn't entirely fixed by the "While you couldn't nose over forever, it allowed you to be less sensitive with the controls" comment. Suggesting that you could, in fact, nose over accidentally and not have an engine out.
Sorry!
