Also with the choke on she doesn't want to start but turn it off and she fires right up, this means the mixture is to rich correct?

Chances are.
What are the idle mixture screws set at?
I'd remove 1 shim if you have 3 in it.
One way to adjust the idle mixture screws to the correct setting is to warm the engine completely, then adjust both in 1/2 turn increments until you get the highest idle speed. From there go slightly richer (maybe 1/8 turn out or so). The idle will drop down slightly when you do that, but use the idle speed adjustment to get it back to 1300.
The carbs should also be synced.
I'm still not sure why one of the plugs was showing a significantly richer mixture than the other, but I would check them again shortly to see if they are still different.
If they are you have more troubleshooting to do.
