The latter suggests that you are running way too lean, for whatever reason.
Try adjusting the mixture screw in till it just seats, then reverse it for 2
1/2 turns. Hook up a dwell tach, start her up, and adjust the screw in
(clockwise) till the engine stumbles, then back out (counterwise) till it
stumbles again, then back to the highest revs. Oh--be sure to set your
timing first.
If it is not the mixture screw, then perhaps the jets are blocked or the
floats need setting. Are the carbs dirty? Need overhauling? Shafts loose
and allowing too much air to be sucked in?
