Solved my problem. After further inspecting the carbs I found the front
carb was drawing air at 5 times the rate of the rear. My Unisyn came to the
rescue. I have no idea how the adjustment on the throttle shaft allowed the
situation. After re-syncing the carbs and tightening the the clamp on the
throttle shaft all is well again. Perhaps the throttle return spring's
tightness and probable loosening of the clamp on the shaft contributed to
the problem. I have been driving the car for 4 years and never had this
happen befor. Always a first time.
cheers,
