when you put your hand over the carb you are acting in the same manner as the choke will causing the carbs to pull more air in it may not be fuel related but it needs to be eliminated also if you were running choked it should stall an the amount of gas its getting
 
also cant choke it completely

also cant choke it completely only about 3/4 and it runs fine let go and it runs like sh*t

You have a fuel restriction in the top carb. You need to remove and overhaul carb. Should probably do all carbs at the same time.
