it may be getting to much fuel. try leaning it down and or changing the cam on the throttle shaft that operates the acc. pump.

I had the same problem with mine...and the answer is too much fuel pressure.. the solution I found worked the best is a simple ball valve between the pump and the motor. This is nice cause you can adjust it for track conditions with the simple move of the valve.

You might also try a fuel pressure regulator set to 6#-7.5#.
