This is not related to the carbs at all and not sure if this is what "exactly" fixed the problem. But I found that when I adjusted the valves and did an oil change that my car started up a lot better in the morning after sitting for a few days.

WEll I think the time has come to pull off the carbs / header and get them done. May as well send off the fuel lines to get them them plated and replace all the lines back to the tank. I will probably wait another month or so, but then its off to Z therapy for some magic...
