this happened to me, so i posted and all i got was CHECK YOUR TIMING. I did, again and again and made sure the up marks were straight up and the crank was lined up. I ended up finding a forum that told me to line the cams up by the little notches around the edges of the cam gears ( facing each other ) hard to see but i did that and now she runs like a dream.

If you got aftermarket cam gears. putting them on "Up" Dont make a damn. Its got advance and ratard setting you got to know what your doing or just toy with it untill its where u desire it.
