CX500 carb help!!!

Ok so I got a 1981 cx 500. It was seized, but I unsiezed it and then I took out the carbs and cleaned them (twice now). But for some reason one cylinder is just not getting enough fuel. (or at least I think its that). You give it a little gas and it has a hard time starting out, like no power at all, but once its up to speed its decent. Its like it gets gas but just not fast. I cleaned the gas tank and the filter, I checked the vacuum and it seems to be getting the fuel to the carbs ok. It has very good compression and is getting decent spark on both sides. Right now I just poured some Fuel injector/carb cleaner in the gas tank hoping to ride it out, but perhaps its something else? Any thoughts?
