I remember that I had a similar problem with a BMW which as I am sure you
know has identical looking BING CV carbs. The problem was I seem to
remember that the carb floats no longer floated resulting in oversupply of
gas to the engine.
Dunno whether this is worth a try

We tried that, didn't work. Could be because the port side carb
overflows because its needle/floats are getting shook so bad, fouling
the port side plugs with raw gas. On some start attempts, the raw gas
pours out the ports side airbox drain. The port side needle seals just
fine when the engine is not shaking around so bad.

A useful trick for cold starts in general on the 912s is to spray
diethyl ether (aka cold start spray), about 2-3 seconds worth into the
air filter. Works every time, even at 0-5 degree Farenheit.
Just don't spray it in your face lest you salivate all over you cabin.
