Looks like it's running too rich. How does it run at partial throttle?

I think the A/F ratio is were it should be. At leats from the info I have below, but maybe who has a similar set up from yours can comment on that:

"A naturally aspirated engine should run an air/fuel ratio of around 12 - 13:1 at peak torque. The exact air/fuel ratio can be determined by dyno testing, with the ratio selected on the basis of the one that gives best torque. In the engine operating range from peak torque to peak power, a naturally aspirated engine should be slightly leaner at about 13:1"

From your A/F graph you are basically inside the 12 - 13:1 range, and also it leans out progessively.
