Then I recommend checking the ignition system, particularly if it is using a mechanical distributor and static timing.  ;)

On the BMW Boxer engine, we had to strip both carbs down and rebuild them a second time because they were almost impossible to get to near the correct settings.  Once they had been rebuilt again and were fitted, it took about thirty minutes to set the carbs up and it ran as it should.  It's just time consuming.
