Sorry if misleading, but I have said remove ONE tube from each carb.

Meaning remove the front tube from all carbs, it is only as a comparison test and is in no way indicative of the "true" fuel level since the level will drop with tube removal.

If after a test like this (which takes a fraction of the time compared to float level checking) there's a difference then you'll know which path to take.

The theory of equal throttle angle also has merit.

If half of the engine spends more average time at 25% and the other half at 20% and the engine is making "x" torque at that point, then the engine half at 25% is in a lower vacuum state (more load) than the 20% side.

The 20% side is "loafing along" for the ride, the 25% side is doing greater than 50% of the work.

The reverse could also be true if the idle circuit is too fat.
