1st thing i would be checking for is air leaks. that would cause it. Maybe change the 0-rings between carbs and manifold.

So have the carbs ever been set up properly on this engine?
Also, what have you done to it between last weekend and now?
Tell us more!
Thoughts:
Idle speed screws (throttle stops) in too far
Vacuum leaks
Incorrect mixture
Carb icing (VERY unlikey in current conditions though)
Throttle cable too tight?
