There's a linkage at the bottom of the LH F#/C# lever. There are different arrangements on different clarinets, but if yours involves a silencer (cork, leather, etc.) or a pin going into a hole on the key that crosses over, an adjustment may be needed. See if there's play that allows the lever to move a little before it engages the connecting arm.
All three LH levers involve longer keys and more mechanism, hence less efficiency, than the RH ones, which are connected directly to the pad cups they move. It's possible, if it's out of adjustment, that the LH mechanism doesn't hold the F/C pad as tightly closed as the RH keys do.The sound might then balk until you add a little more pressure on the C# key.
