alot of things could be causing this.from carb to 1 or 2 tight lifters or ignition problem.maybe pull plugs and compare them all.

Quick fiel 750 hr carbs fixed it. Still needs fine tuning Rpm acting weird on port engine. Everything is good to 4k then the port climbs with thtottle but stbd stays. Can hear both revving. Port oil pressure in neutral will raise to 65 at 4k. In gear 40 max. Possible grounding issues? Gaugrs are Ss comp

I'd put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on and verify pressure.as for the strb engine,,was it the one that was popping?
