Two distinct possibilities come to mind, both caused by the design of the
manifold for a single DCOE application on a 1300/1500 head.
If you get the outside two cylinders tuned correctly, the inside two will run
rich because the tubes to the outside ports will me much longer than the
inner ones. The result is washing down the walls of the inside 2 cylinders
and/or fouling the plugs.
If you adjust the inside 2 cylinders properly, the outside two will run lean
and therefor burn valves and plugs.
Neither are very satisfactory.
