Lean on the carb feeding those cylinders. Is it glowing at idle? Lots of
things make the carbs go lean. If you can swap the two carbs and see what
happens. You may have an air leak but it is difficult to have an air leak on
a webber on both chokes.

Subject: [Sevens] Carburetor Tuning 

While doing some other maintenance on the Seven, I noticed the header 
tubes on number 3 and 4 where glowing red while the tubes for 1 and 2 
were not.  It appears something is amiss and I have no idea what.  I 
suspect this is a long standing issue but am not sure.

Does anyone have any advice on where I should start?

Symptoms:
 Engine pops/spits sometime at about 3500 rpm.  Seems to always be #3 or #4
 #3 and #4 header tubes glow red
(I suspect 3/4 are running much leaner than 1/2)

Engine:
Crossflow with a Kent 244 cam
Carbs  40DCOE -151
 Main
    Air  210
    Emulsion Tube F16
    Jet 120
Idle 45F9
Choke Tube 32
Aux Venturi  45
Pump Jet  45
