  3. Well it probably your accelerator pump.
    Either too much or not enough fuel to match the throttle blades movement.

    That's my no eyes no ears no hands 1000 mile away guess based off of your description.

    Or your timing is completely off due to a bad vacuum advance, or... a ton of things.

    If it just happened then something broke, if its been ongoing, find the last part you added that caused the issue and work backward.
     
  6. Im betting its not enough pump shot to overcome the lean condition when the throttle is opened up.

    Install a larger # squirter, if that doesn't fix it, install a larger accelerator pump

    I thought about getting a smaller carburetor for it.. But if I could get this one running smooth that'd be alot better
