Scotty,
Two easy things to check:
1) No oil in the carb dashpots
2) Carbs set too lean
Check 1) first because it is easer. No oil in dashpots will cause this
problem because one function of the dashpots is to temporarily enrichen the
mixture when the throttle is depressed. This has the same action as the
accelerator pump on domestic carbs. Without the oil the car will act as a
domestic car will with a bad accel pump.
If this doesn't fix it check the timing.
