Dual IDF 40s on 2.0. Was running fine in upper RPM range (4k and above) then pulled carbs to fix problem with accel pump (pin missing through throttle). Now I am unable to rev past 4k under load. Under no load I am able to rev fairly high but then starts to bog and have to wait to rev high again. Checked timing and advance appears to work correct when using timing light. Timing changes as rev up to 3500 RPM. Timing set at 34 at 3500 RPM. Pulled jets again today thinking just maybe missed something. Changed fuel filter. Fuel pressure seems good at carbs. Looked at plugs and doesnt appear a rich condition. Is there anything else I can check on ignition? I pulled cap and everything is clean under there.
