Hey Paul,
1) Yes,......the frequencies of those vibrations cause mixture variations in the engine. I've never been able to actually observe what happens inside the float chambers so I cannot say precisely what happens, however the use of a flexible engine mount (rubber or urethane) eliminates the problem.
2) Soft-mounts on IDA's do not work due to vibrations. The DCOE ones work in those applications since the carbs were designed for them.
Hope this helps,
