Well, I think I found the reason for the bad idle.  One of the rubber hoses, 
part of the tubing that goes from the valve cover back to the carbs, had 
fallen off.  

I'll still be replacing the diaphragms, but here's another question -- when I 
put the piston/diaphragm assembly back in the carb, is there a correct 
orientation?  On the bottom of the piston are two openings -- should they be 
pointed in a particular direction, like towards the mouth of the carb and the 
air cleaners?  I probably didn't pay attention to that before, and I would 
suspect for correct air flow/operation, the "orientation" of the piston is 
important?
