What did you do with the VENT-LINES?
Did you leave them hanging,or did you happen to connect them from one set of (2) carbs to the other?

Yes,I realize that.
And the lines are no way getting pinched anywhere?
To what point exactly,did you pull the carbs apart?

I'd pullem again,and get some compressed air in there.
Chances are,you have some grit plugging up one of the choke circuits.
How bad did the bowls look when you pulled them off?

The pilot circuits are dirty/obstructed.
