Here's the deal.  I think I got a vacuum leak.  I hear a LOUD hiss coming 
from the carbs, which sounds like the leak.  It comes from the diaphram vent 
hole.  It's high pitched and if I cover the hole with my finger (both carbs) 
engine speed increases
and seems to smooth out a bit. Do I have bad diaphrams?  I'll be replacing 
them tonight, but was wondering what else I should be looking at.  Any 
insight would be
great!

Since you asked............yes, bad diaphrams (I would also suggest that you 
and the missus avoid sexual relations until such time as the diaphrams can 
be replaced with new ones unless she's trying to get pregnant).   8^ )
