carbs are stock for 1979.  I rebuilt all four carburetors. Stock jet sizes. I'm running the stock air filter box. Problem only occurs after engine is warmed up.

Two other engine problems noted that may/may not be related to this issue.

Small oil leak from the front left corner of the cam cover or the tach cable connection.
After engine is turned off, I can see a faint trail of smoke from #1 muffler. Since I purchased these mufflers used, the previous bike might have had a problem with #1 cylinder and this is the residual oil burning off - or my #1 cylinder is running too rich  - or I need more break-in time.
