I just noticed something in the test 7 video… Do you have a heat shield under those carbs? If not, fuel boiling in the jets can lead to funkiness.

Just to be sure, I had a lot of problems using the heat shields for HIF's or Strombergs with my HS carbs, and putting one that covered the whole exhaust back on made a big difference. I guess it's just one more thing to try. Also, do you have any of the Penolic heat isolators (black plastic carb spacers) or any unplugged vacuum nipples? I had one carb with a nipple on the top and the other with a nipple on the bottom, I didn't know that they connected to so I silver soldered them shut.
I have the little cap on that goes on the back carb. Otherwise there would be the hose that goes to the vacuum advance distributors.
Ok, so maybe it's what someone over on swedespeed said and its the float levels. Have you stopped when it starts bucking/missing and checked the float level? If it is fuel boiling you will see that also. Sometimes when the fuel boils the vapor doesn't come out of the overflow holes but pushes through the jet (if there is a blockage in the overflow holes)... Maybe the polisher got some compound in the weep holes?
That is possibly the most beautiful volvo to ever be loaded onto a flatbed haha.
Hopefully its something easy, and not something that we already tried troubleshooting!
At least you know it'll likely be fixed now.
