Which MSD are you running? What is your timing set to? Which Mondello intake? Did you set your float level and a/f mixture on the carb?

First thing I'd do is take that Demon apart and check it out. Barry Grant went to *&^% in it's latter years and the carbs were crap. Every one of my three Demons needed work to make them right.
From bad castings, loose butterflies, hodge podge of different air bleeds in the same carb, etc. I could go on but you get the picture.
