OK... saga continues. New powerhead, redone carbs. Engine sneezes at idle, crossflow line come off fittings (green arrow, view from starboard), and a spray of fuel comes out.

Can't think of anything other than excessive intake pressure, and don't see any way for that to happen other than reeds going bad (looked OK on disassembly). Thoughts?

Yep, looks like it. Somebody messed with the reeds before me (shims missing, reeds look flipped). Replaced with aftermarket, problems seem to have gone away. Idles better and smoke is down to reasonable amounts, too.
