Cl350 cylinder question

I have a 71 cl350 that I've been having trouble getting the left cylinder to fire correctly. I got it firing yesterday, but if the bike is idleing and I pull the right cylander plug to see if the left is firing it will just stall out, but If I pull the right plug when I rev up the throttle a bit the Left cylander will fire fine, but If I let go of the throttle it will stall out. Any Ideas on what It could be, I checked the points and the timing which are both good. And I know the Carb is getting fuel.

One throttle plate is open more than the other. The right carb throttle plate is open mpre than the left, at idle, not enough fuel/air to the left cylinder. At higher RPM's, the difference isn't as great and it runs o.k.

My previous CB350 was like that and my CB360 has the same issue when the throttles are out of sync.
