I ran .295 intermediate and a 70 main in an 80 inch Evo with the Yost power tube and an EV27 cam.

Try going down on the main and make sure the accelerator pump is adjusted correctly.

that's not enough description for anyone to guess at what to do. that's why I said read S&S's tuning info. It tells you how to test and what to do based on your tests.

make certain your ignition timing is correct first.
