I agree completely and meant to write that earlier.  I spent a lot of time 
fretting over that very same issue, but the KR's differential aileron 
controls help ensure that the ball will be either perfectly centered or very 
close to it during just about all regimes of normal flight except takeoff 
and slips and that sort of thing. In the 1130 hours I put on N56ML, I only 
heard the engine starve for fuel once, and that's when I deliberately 
starved it just to see how long it would take to restart (and that was at 
5000', probably).

And there was a comment about why Cessnas don't have a problem with that. 
It's pretty clear that if you have two tall stand pipes that terminate in  Y 
or a T at the carburetor at the bottom, you can leave them both unported at 
the top...as long as there's fuel standing in at least one of the pipes, the 
carb  will get fuel.
