Check for foreign material at the bottom of the idle jet bore and all passages leading to the idle discharge hole in the Throttle Bore and in all fuel jets. View through the jets while looking at a light source to be sure they are open, look at the air correctors too. Blow compressed air gently through all passages. Reassemble and give it a try.
And while you're doing all of the above, swap two carbs around, if the fault moves with the carb, it's a carb issue, if it stays where it was it's a manifold/cylinder issue.

These days, even brand new Webers out of the box, need cleaning out before use. I have never used a carb out of the box, have done as mentioned above, don't trust anybody, especially a machine.
