Could be as simple as the carbs are not synchronized such that all throttle plates open at exactly the same time and the same amount. Since you had the carbs off to work on them, synchronization is certainly the possible cause.

I had just did the synchronization and a/f adj :) and rev it 1 last time and watching the vac. gauge when I saw this happen.
it has what looks like a accelerator pump on the side of the carbs 1 for bottom 2 and 1 for top 2 . but having a hard time finding any thing on them or how to test them
