Hi Jeff:
I was wondering about that one too. Having only one carb opening when
you pushed the pedal would give a very similar result with the idle jet
providing enough gas to avoid having the engine running on only 3
cylinders.
It's easy enough to have a broken/slipping linkage without it being too
apparent.

Are both carbs attached to the throttle shaft? Do the butterflies
and pistons work in unison?
