Very sorry to hear about the wife.You could try this as to me it sounds as though the throttle lifters are set too high, especially if the carbs have been apart.Get the adjuster screws, the ones with the little 8mm headed nuts on and the flat bladed screwdriver slot. Screw them all down as far as they can go. You may now struggle to get the bike to tickover and starting will involve a little jiggling with the throttle. Once you get it started adjust the main tickover screw to see if it will idle. If so, now vac the carbs to equalise them.See if that works. Before you do that post a pic of the adjusters so we can see how high they are now.Hi Oddjob,Just tried above and got it sort of running with enough revs to attempt Carbtune. Oddly #2 tube to carbtune kept blowing off the adaptor. It was helping and adjustment could be made but soon as pipe blew off engine stalled. Looks like a bench sync coming up 😏. Also#1 exhaust pipe was nowhere near as hot as the other three, although still hot to a degree. And yes did check carbtune pipes were on correct carb 🤣
If you want another "pair of eyes" to help out with it Bill, I could have a day walkabout to see if we can get our heads around it together. Which area are you located in West Sussex ? Offer on the table should you need it.
