Cool

Yes, Alex, OP has videos of the needles going up when they feel the vacuum of the engine (another thread).

when I slowly give it throttle and it starts to bog down
the idle drops really low and either stalls or recovers.

Once the bike stalls I can not get it to start back up again unless I hold the throttle open max.
As over-rich mix only happens when the butterfly is opened and sustained engine vacuum reaches the Ventury, IMHO, it must be either those float valves that fail with vibration (temporarily flooding one or both bowls) or a case similar to that old thread where the guides of the needle were missing.

It seems to me that the oil should be contaminated with fuel at this point.

Maybe @choneofakind could remember if these symptoms could be related to enlarged P compensation holes in the slides.
