the pistons that operate the power enrichment are probably stuck or the metering rods are not in the correct place in the carb.

check fuel pressure, if you`ve covered your bases on everything else and you know the carbs right, if you haven`t checked fuel pressure is the next logical step, I ran into this problem like yours with a stock pump, 14 PSI fuel pressure at idle due to a bad cam fuel pump lobe.

Any reversion over the carb when this happens?, reversion is a kind of fog that gets ejected when there is alot of overlap in the cam and the engine is loaded heavily at low rpm. What happens is the fuel air mixture ends up going through the carb more than once enriching it each time leading to a very rich mixture.

What do your plugs look like?
