The streamlining doesn't change this condition. The streamlining changes the throatle position required to maintain 100 km/h thus putting the carb into a part of the fuel schedule that is very poor in that the fuel/air ratio is maybe 9 or 10:1 rather than 14:1. the best solutions if you have the money are fuel injection or smaller carb or a single carb. reducing the jet size will work up to a point, after which the carb will provide a overly lean mixture that will cause engine damage and poor performance... but changing jet size is easy and cheep and it may be enough.

So long as the leaning out occures at a speed high enough it won't matter I only need the speed range up to 150 km/h, not 210 km/h.

Smaller carb, more velocity, bump up low speed tractability as well as clear your rich running issue.
Or even better, use only one of the two carbs !
