wonder what made it so far out of balance?
you havent got a vacuum leak? maybe the adaptor is loose - mine was and it threw my adjustment right off.
maybe a choke plunger is sticking a bit?

might be worth a dyno run to check the fuelling... defo doesnt sound right if it was so far out of sync.
diaphragm maybe?

Mike, I agree you shouldn't need to turn the adjustment loads of turns to bring them back into sync. Something is definitely not right, especially with the mpg dropping off like that. I wonder if a diaphragm has split in one of the carbs, seeing as you don't think it's choke related which would be favourable as Benny said. Either that or you got a fuel leak.
