Default 3w 60K midrange problems....

I just bought a used 3w60K. I have no experience with 3w's at all and the only other gas eng. i've had is a DA-50. My problem is midrange. Flying at half throttle is troubling. It burbles quite a bit. Also in knife edge and inverted. Below or above half throttle it is much cleaner and the transition from idle to wide open is great. Is this a common problem and is there anything i can do to make it better? Will leaning it out do anything or is this more of a problem that relates to having a side mount carb. BTW the carb is brand new from aircraft international. The motor was just serviced a few months ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Al Renkel
