Matt there was a thread a day or so ago on a six pack issue that was very comprehensive that may help you.

make sure the outer two carbs butterflys are actually closed.

I've seen it alot where the linkage is not adjusted correctly holding the outer two carbs open -

aarcuda had a thread about an idle issue.

You need to make sure you have proper initial advance, outboards are closed, no vac leaks.

Basics first; timing, float levels, etc.
