Question about syncing carbs

How do I know how much to restrict the airflow? Like would it be bad if I adjusted them and I restricting one too much so it was displayed differently? Does it matter? Because if you restrict the airflow of each one differently wouldn’t it not show the actual pressure?

[81 GL 1100] throttle response issue- carbureted

The bike was warm when I started it, this is a few minutes after. When I pull the throttle without easing on it drops the idle and if I don’t release or back off it kills the bike, starts up again immediately though.

What causes this? Is it lean, rich, or just cold?

Ps: carbs were rebuilt literally yesterday

Really ugly welds.

Mounts for a fairing on my old bike (81 GL 1100). Did this with a stick welder, the pipe for the frame is a bit thin so not burning through was tricky, I had to make a puddle on the plate and drag it onto the frame without pushing through it and punching a hole. It looks bad but ended up pretty sturdy. The little brace on the underside was a pretty tricky angle, but it turned out better than expected.

Also the bike is running super rich if anyone can tell me how to make the air/fuel mix more lean
