Re: flat spot
are your exhaust headers seated properly?
Leaks at the flange where the pipes meet the head can cause backfires on over-run

Re: flat spot
Sounds like it could be valves, are you sure you set the clearances right? I always use the maxim it was OK - now it's not - what has changed?
It was OK before you set the clearances?
