    Sounds like it's starving for fuel, check the filters or screens in the tank for debris and then the regular fuel filter on the Q jet and pump filter. 1 of them has debris and plugs up after a while. It may also be the fuel pump, 140 GPH may be to much for that Q jet, in idle situations, it floods up, when it starts to fluxuate, look back and see if theres any black smoke coming from the tail pipe, if there is, it's idiling to rich as cause of possibly pumping too much fuel.
