Sounds like an accelorator pump adjustment-carb problem or timing issue. I suppose all 3 engines are tuned the same way? That would probably be a clue. How about some spec.s? Timing set where, spark plugs, what was done to the carbs and what were the mixture screws set to, the choke set how and how was the accel. pump adjusted, or was it checked at all?
