Volvo Penta 8.1 losing RPMs

Twin Volvo pentas. one is running fine. the other will lose rpms when i push it to 4000 rpms. it will pull back to 2000 on its own. i'll pull them both back to idle speed, and i often will hear an audible bang. ii can slowly bring the engines back up to 3500-4000 and will run fine the rest of the day. seems to be a issue only during my first attempt to run at 4000rpms. it does "go away", but happens every time i go out.

i've tried changing gas filter, new full tank of gas, added some stp gas treatment. any help would be appreciated.
