Default 🔰 I totally agree with JSchmitz...

Totally agree, the end carbs don’t have anything to do with idle, as they only dump gas. There’s no fuel ‘circuit’ on them. The center carb does everything that’s important.

To the original poster: I’ve experienced accelerator pump ‘sticking’ issues...although your not really ‘accelerating’. I remember mine used to ‘stumble’ when even the slightest gas/accelerator was applied. Check to see if the accelerator pump is binding...

I tend to agree that the choke may not be warming up the fuel. Have you tried installing an electronic choke ?
