Stock carbs?  Could be float level, worn jet, oring sealing choke. Could also be a worn valve guide giving it a bit of oil.

Try swapping over the spark plugs, leads and then coils one at a time to see whether the fault shifts to the other side.  If it does, you have your suspect.

Looks fuel fouled, so..  :smiley:
I'm betting ignition on this one. Bad plug/loose or corroded plug cap/ bad connection at the cap or coil.
Edit: forgot you said you cleaned the plug. In my experience, once a plug is fouled, just throw it away. They're cheap..

Is the choke plunger seating correctly on that side? Have you got free play in the cable? See if the cable has allowed the outer to drop out of the splitter and hang up.
