I also noticed the lack of a slow jet on all of the carbs.  Should be down to the left of the main correct????
Yes.  Looks like sabotage!  ;D

So #3 needs a rebuild kit.  It feels like I can get away with just cleaning the rest due to the visible condition.  I'll prob need to order the slow jets individually (40s I think).  I saw another post where someone was running this setup and it seemed to work for him.

The Cb550 should have #38 pilot jets.
I recommend you spring for genuine Keihin jets.   Not all #38 jets have the same suction tube length or number and size of the emulsion tube holes, which make a difference.
