Default EA Jerky on acceleration

i got a 5 speed CFI EA and when i floor it from takeoff it's all jerky and bunnyhops, but it will take off smoothly if i gradually accelertate, and also when it's going smoothly if i floor it it' has a real flat spot, this happens in 1st,2nd and 3rd, and i have got the timing right. so does anyone know what could be causing this.

could be bad fuel, clogged injectors, first off try replacing your fuel filter, if thats no good then u could try chaning the spark plugs and leads also.

Could need an ignition tune up, my EL had a problem like that for a while.

Like Juzxr8, spark plugs could be next.
