thanks for all the help!
You are welcome

Follow this link and study how these constant velocity carburetors work, modulated by the vacuum of the engine.

That should explain why your hand partially blocking the right inlet makes the proper mix reach the right cylinder.

If you can place a mirror where you can place your hand over the intake, you may be able to see what both slides and needles are doing.
My impression is that the right ones are not responding as quickly and well as the left ones do to the twist of the handle.

It is easy to connect the needle to the slide and spring in the incorrect manner.

Check these ways to test mechanical leaks inductive to low compression:

Avoid frustration, be methodical while trying to find the problem.
We can guide you though the troubleshooting process, but cannot replace your eyes and your hands: you will fix the problem.
