Yorky- to me it sounds like too much air is getting in. Are the screws in ok on the inlet stubs where you screw the balancing pipes on? My issues have always been not enough air and thats been restriction on the air-inlet under the seat- I didnt have seat-bungs fitted. Also, if the o rings are worn, then the fuel gets sucked up the sides on the main jet.

Hi guys,
If you want to send me your carbs I will ultrasonically clean them and zinc plate all the levers and fixings for £40.
This will include a complete strip and each carbs will receive individual attention. (Putting the carbs in an ultrasonic cleaner as a unit of four will knacker the fuel seals. They will dry out and may disintegrate after some use.)
I will replace nuts, washers and any fuel seals that have passed their sell by date.
You will be responsible for postage and for the cost of any parts required to rebuild.
I will keep you up to date via email as and when including photos of work progress.
Send me a pm for more information.
cheers
john
