Could carbs being really out of sync cause a cylinder to not fire 100%

Also would really out of sync carbs cause poping?

1994 intruder 800

I noticed my bike is lacking power greatly on my ride today. When I start to get on the throttle the right exhaust pops and starts to want to work and then it just dosent it’s the front cylinder it’s werid I’ll get on it pops bad and then it’s in and out with the working of it.

This is very werid bc before I took the front carb off it was the other side doing this I took both of them off and now it’s the opposite side doing it ?? What would be my issue here? I’m thinking really out of sync carbs

The carbs out of sync can cause many issues. The problem is that without syncing them properly you will chase your tail in trying to diagnose any other problems.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Yes, really out of sync carbs will kill one cylinder.
The #1 cylinder (rear) is the reference carb. you sync the front cylinder to it.
