Did you remove the pilot jet and clean it?
Did you run a wire thru all passages?
Just spraying some carb cleaner in it won't do much.

Yes I removed the pilot jet and cleaned, couldn't see any obvious blockage in the passages.
It was some dirt in the channel to the air screw that I got rid of (I think).

The fuel inlet pipes to the middle and right carburetors are loose, could false air be drawn in from there? Is possible to fix them?

The carbs are not synced, middle throttle lifts way before the other two.

Then the first thing to do is set the idle screws even and then sync the cables.

New float needle sets are on their way. That should make the carbs stop dripping gas at least. Float heights looks correct.

I have looked into the other carbs now and the houses and bowls look like new. The parts made of brass while nice overall show signs of being exposed to old gas (I suppose). One float is partially black. :wtf:

Ultrasonic cleaning maybe is worth trying to get more crap out?

Just switch carb between cylinders and see what happens?
