Carbs are out of balance. Get them right by using the balance screw, the
one at an angle right in the centre, that synchronizes the throttle
openings. If you're a musician - use a piece of tubing to listen to the air
rushing into #2 and then into #3 (with filter removed). Adjust till the
tones are the same. If you're tone deaf - trial and error works pretty
good. Adjust screw about 1/4 turn in one direction - blip throttle -
better?worse? If worse go the other way from initial position. If better -
fine tune for best position.

All this said, sometimes the idles can get so much out of kilt that this
symptom occurs. Check that idles are open 2 and 1/4 turns initial, from
closed position, then go from there to fine tune.

Good Luck.
