Can a three-legged kaw still run?

Hi Gentlemen and Ladies

I have a 1982 KZ1000 CSR and I am now in the carburetor stage of my restoration. I discovered that the #3 carb has a plug over the fuel inlet and there is no float valve. I will, of course, get one but I am now curious as to whether it would or was, run without the third carb. Anyone know? Thanks for your knowledge, as always.

Engine could run, but rough, uneven, underpowered, and unacceptable to ride.
