Sounds a lot like the problem I was having, turned out to be a stuck Gross
jet in the rear carb that wasn't letting enough fuel into the float bowl.
Felt like it was running out of gas (because 3 of 6 cylinders WERE running
out of gas!), caused backfiring, etc. It was a real headache to me because I
had just installed a Crane XR-3000 and of course looked to that as the
problem... Finally reinstalling the points to see that it was a fuel
problem, which was easy enough to fix..
