   I'd probably pay the $15, and then wait for the antique waiver to come
into effect.
  Is inspection done by the state there, or by mechanics? If the latter, you
might look around for a 'friendly' mechanic - I've heard rumors that even
with the computerized emissions testers, this can yield good dividends.

  As to the basic problem, it sounds like your secondaries might be at
fault. If they're worn or eroded (whatever the proper term is) they could
either be dumping too much gas into the carb, or not atomising it properly.
