Not sure about the carb but with the caps hooked up in parallel, the uF rating would be the total of the two. For example, if you wire two 0.10 caps in parallel, it would be equivalent to a single 0.20 cap in the system. If one of the original caps is shorted internally, the second one would just be going along for a ride wired in like that. Even if they were both good and within limits, the points would suffer from arcing or pitting.
