Yes you're correct Trigger, looks like they've tried to drift the emulsion tube out...rather unsuccessfully! It's no.4 carb I need but having all the spares might come in handy, I didn't expect this to be plain sailing, twice as many carbs as my xs😆
I thought the keihin 069a were a more commonly used carb? Barely any or their parts on Ebay

Amazingly the Ebay seller of those carbs is unwilling take the bowls off to enable me to check the condition.

I wasn't prepared to take the chance given his response, removing 4 screws per bowl would take all of 5 mins. Any way I've carefully drifted all four emulsion tubes out, no4 is damaged although the internal orifice that the needle enters is ok but really needs replacing, other than some float straightening on all other carbs they are good.In short I think I need the body of carb no4, it's emulsion tube, main jet and the retaining spring, or just a complete no4 carb. I've spent most of this afternoon stripping the black rattle can paint off them, carb cleaner wrinkles it up nicely.
