Might be if half the carb is dedicated by the manifold to feed cylinders 8-6-3-7. Firing order with emphasis on problem cylinders.
1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2
No, Jack. each side of the carb feeds alternate numbers in the firing order.

One side: 1,4,6,7
Other side: 5,8,3,2

If you look at those groups of numbers they both contain the two end cylinders from one side and the middle cylinders from the other.

So it is unlikely that one side of the carb is at fault.
