Ahhh, you are not about to give up - are you?

Restricting the flow by hand is like doing the "manual synchrometer" test ...

Can you tell if the amount of air flowing thru the live & dead is the same?

When you put your hand over the intake, you are actually richening up that cylinder. This over rich mixturte will not burn in the cylinder, but will in the exhaust. That is the popping you are hearing.

It would seem to me that the "dead" ones are not flowing enough air. You need to open those throttle plates a little further.

You should have or borrow a synchrometer, it will let you set the airflow of each carb, so you have equal flow thru all of them.
