1) Replaced the spark plugs, carb holders, air box boots
2) disassembled the carbs and ultrasonically cleaned the small parts, cleaned the bodies in a homemade parts washer, complete blow out with a compressor
3) adjusted the valves
4) made numerous tests of mix screw adjustments 1/2 turn at a time

Still hangs. I want to replace all of the hoses on the carbs, but got two screws that won't free up so that I can split the bank.

Kind of stuck on that for now. I really need to fix this issue before continuing on with the race bike preps.
Before you put the carbs in an ultrasonic cleaner, did you pound out the plugs to the idle screw under the carbs and remove the idle jet, spring, washer, and o-ring?

There's nothing splitting the bank will do to help the throttle hanging, so don't put a lot of effort into that.
