I think you will need to go through the carbs.

Unlike previous gens, the later carb components are not the same side-to-side, and if someone has messed with them, they may be mixed-up.

It may even run worse with the stock filter, depending on a few things, but I don't think it's going to run right without completely going through the carbs carefully.
