Get the carbs balanced first then fit new plugs if you can and check again especially for air leaks around carb rubbers.

A solution of water and soap is good for this or spit if you are lazy like most of us.

Cheers

Remove spark plugs and check electrode colour. You are looking for a coffee coloured tip to see if mixture to that cylinder is correct. Black means burning oil or  not enough air, light grey to white means rich mixture so burns hotter
