Barry,

 Sounds  like your up to the task. I would dissemble both carbs and inspect the needle  seats, slides and metering rods for any unusual wear or nicks. Re-set float bowl  height and test levels. Also if you have a fuel regulator I might think it  suspect. If it intermitted supplies to much pressure you can run rich enough  long enough to foul the plugs. If it runs fine with new plugs and then goes foul  that would be my guess.

I would also consider a  differential compression test.  If the engine mount was damaged it is also  possible the block or the heads may have taken a bit of punishment.  Soot  normally means over rich but can also be low compression.
