I'm having much the same problem...I just converted my FI to carb not long 
ago (darkside be damned!), and am running the same setup in my '71 
Square...albeit w/ an electric fuel pump. It starts and idles like a jem, 
and initally runs smooth. Whereas upon warming up, the engine starts 
dragging, surging...and when slowing while in gear, lets out a series of 
what sounds to be small muffled backfires. I've attempted all manner of idle 
mixture/timing ajustments, checked the sparkplug connections, the bellows 
are fine, the coil is new, and repeatedly synced the carbs...yet it 
continues.
I, myself, am just about ready to take it to a shop....unless you kind gents 
have any insight. Many thanks in advance.
