Hi and welcome!

How did you diagnose that 3 & 4 are not working?
Most likely clogged and dirty carbs from sitting around.

You'll need full carb restoration. Complete refurb with disassembly down to every last nut, bolt and individual part. Everything scrubbed with brushes and PEA-based fuel-system cleaner (including hidden secret passages in carb-body). Spray carb-cleaners no longer work due to removal of chlorinated compounds. Then ultrasonic soak everything. Micro soda-blast at very end to clean up. Adjust float levels with final wet-test. Replace all rubbers: fuel-rail O-rings, pilot screw O-rings, float-valves, float-bowl seals, and slide diaphragms if needed. Sync carbs and adjust idle.

Bike ran perfectly fine when leaving showroom floor. It will again when carbs are restored to factory-fresh clean. Not worth acquiring all equipment needed and learning decades of dark-arts of carb restoration for just 1 set of carbs. I recommend sending carbs to https://customcarbservices.com for expert restoration. Very reasonable prices and quick turnaround.

Do usual tests:

1. spark, verify all plugs fire strongly

2. fuel, more difficult test with reading plugs. not 100% accurate. But you at least can compare #4 to others
