i have 28 sonic w/350/383 - 375 hp when i first start the motors it sounds like the port is not firing feels like a bad plug or dumping to much fuel.when i take off port motor is running 3000 rpm to get up on plane starboard slacks back about 2500 once warm and on plane both motors run great.even after i slow down no problem.it only happens when sitting for an hour or so.help i set the timing at 8 deg

Re: one motor slower out of the hole
hi bt
i did buy those from you last year but i haven't installed them yet.i wanted to get the motor running before i put on the your carbs.should i just put them on and go from there?the carbs i have on are the stock q-jets that came with the 350 270 hp.but why would one motor due that? also should i rebuild them before or are they all set.
thanks paul
if thats not the problem what else could it be?

Re: one motor slower out of the hole
Sounds like a choke problem Paul. Try holding open the choke plate while the problem is happening. Should clear up. If that doesn't so it I would try one of my carbs on that one engine. You may need to change the secondary metering rods to a leaner (larger) set. Let me know it you need help picking one. What I had in there ran rich, which is what I wanted. Also your displacement is less which may also have an affect. Check out the choke first thought then we can go from there.
