I think there's a circuit that keeps dispensing fuel on wide open throttle, so
that might have taken over - there is a second nozzle in the carb throat.

My carbs seem to be allowing a dribble through the nozzles when the accelerator
is released, so the engine takes a while to slow down again after a buirst of
acceleration - I suspect blocked nozzles, but it might be some other problem, as
the CO level doesn't change much from about 1.8% even when adjusting the mixture
screw, yet the exhaust smells strongly - perhaps we've other problems - valves
maybe?  Everything's pointing towards some investigative surgery really.
