 Any ideas how it drop out of sync like this, >>

Hi Tom,

My GT6 (standard Strombergs) was suddenly and inexplicably dropping out of 
sync as well.  I discovered that the set screw for the needle (the one on the 
piston, not the one in the bowl) was loose and the needle would drop out of 
the piston a little sometimes, effectively leaning the setting WAY out.  When 
it popped back in, the problem would go away.  Strangest effect, since it was 
intermittent -- was driving me nuts.  You might try checking that set screw 
on the front carb to see if it's tight.
