Some days were worse than others, I am guessing due to air density but don't know for sure.
I learned to keep the blades open slightly when throttling down, that seemed to help a little bit. Also, make sure you're not running too much timing, that is also a factor.
Look on the bright side - it really looks cool at night seeing the flames pop out of the side pipes.

Hey I know I'm hijacking this thread, but I had a thought: has anybody tried putting a throttle damper anywhere on these carbs to close the throttle more gently and maybe this would go away?
