It's a rather vague description of the problem, but I'd suspect an electrical problem, to be sure.

Remove both coils and test them to make certain that they're within specification. After that, work down the list. Check your spark plug wires (arcing can sometimes cause what you've described) and if neccesary, replace them. While you're at it, replace the spark plug boots.

Failing that, test your CDI box, again, making certain it's within specification.

If none of these are the problem, I'd be surprised. And No, for the record, I don't think your carburetors were mis-adjusted.
