Default Vs 1400 Front Cylinder Backfire

Hello everyone, I am new to the site and have one thing to say INTRUDER'S ROCK!!!!, Ok now that I got that out I have a real question...
I have a 93 vs 1400 intruder (my baby) that started running rough and then quit running on the front cylinder... I pulled the carbs apart and cleaned them both thourghly (the front carb had a red Powder like substance in it???)
put them back together and put the bike back together, ran it and it now would fire on both cylinders but got a case of nasty backfire from the front cylinder so I tore the carb back apart and cleaned it again even though it was spotless. and I took the slide and diaphram out and replaced them because the diaphram was shot... thought for sure that was the problem but when I got the bike back together it did the same thing This all took place in about a years time due to time and money constraints as well as the winter season so the bike did sit for a while but anyways I am now stuck wondering if it could be a sticky valve or what ???? Please help!!!
