Have you checked the flow rate? I had similar with a 30mm phbh , it would run perfect until I caned it in top gear, it would backfire and miss until I eased off the throttle to give the carb chance to fill up again, i changed the tap a few times until I found a true fast flow one (camlam) incidently.

i was actually hoping for a far more comprehensive reply than that matey..in order to give us some clues and help us help you.......
for eg..
Tap jet size....?
main jet...........122
pilot jet...............?
Atomiser/diffuser......?
Slide..................?
needle and setting........?
and is your carb fitted with a filter or does it run open with or without hole in panel..........?

sorry to butt in Sean but as im paying attention to this post can you explain about the "Tap jet size "
ie: do you mean standard or fast flow fuel tap or something else ?

Ive had my Saxelby stage 4 with a phbh28 with PM set up as this on the dyno:-
115 main AV264 atom with X13 needle on 2nd clip.Think its 50 slide,cant remember the pilot but think its 55.Its got a 300 float needle valve.On the main,you may wanna start at 120 but i found that too rich and 118 was advised if on a long run and flatout but have always used the 115 and its spot on.Timing is static at 19 degrees.Hope this helps mate.
