Probably is getting too much gas; you might try replacing the high speed jets. First make sure that the throttle plates are perfectly synchronized. The plates should all be perfectly horizontal at WOT and move precisely the same as you move the control arm.

Wide open throttle. The throttle plates allow maximum flow in the perfectly horizontal position.
