idle

Hello, I am currently facing an issue with my bike where the left side is not firing while at idle. I noticed this when I touched the exhausts and noticed the left side was noticeably colder than the right, so when I pulled the left spark plug boot while running, there was no drop in RPMs...

So I ordered a set of VM30 carbs for my 72 cl350(I got the bike second hand, it was a bit chopped up, had after market pipes that apparently don't play well with the og carbs). Anyways, the carbs I ordered came in and they're both left hand carbs..The idle adjustment screw is on the left hand...
