it sounds like its leaning out from 1/2 throttle on bu hard to say if its leaning out or just detinating on oil that could be resting in the bottom of the intake and getting picked up as rpms increase.
them hotair motors are tougher than people think ....thank god for steel shim head gaskets ..
another thing is to pull your valve covers an make sure all the valves are opening since if you have a cam thats going away it will cause more detination as it gets worse.
Could be the cam sensor is out of adjustment (too advanced)
Only takes a few minutes to reset it Click HERE for instructions...
About rotating the crank 25° past TDC...cut a piece of masking tape just a teensy bit longer than 1-7/16" long. Put the right edge on the timing mark, the left edge will be 25° after TDC!
