Nice work, looks good out in the wild :)
Riding these bikes when contemporary it was kind of habitual to shut the fuel off just before end of journey to avoid chance of carbs leaking. Generally they didn't but it was just good practice at the time so not too unusual.
Something that may help though, I think It was Kevski that described lapping in gently the brass needle valves to get a good seal with the carb. I've forgotten what he's suggested so if reading this may get it explained more thoroughly for you.
Hope you enjoy riding it after all your hard work.

I think it looks great and is just what I wanted. Bikes running alright still a little stumble at 3.5k but I’ve got another needle clip position to try in the future. The front sprocket oil seal is now doing its job since tapping it into place but will keep an eye on it, just getting some drips from one of thof oil hoses which I’ll look at getting repaired when I change the oil.
Since replacing the washers on the fuel tap with dowty style ones as recommended by Bryan I’m not getting any more leakage through the petcock, I am however still getting overflowing carb bowls when the fuel tap is left on, just dribbles out. Have tested the brass overflow pipes for cracks and they’re all good, have swapped the replacement float valves with oem ones but still no joy. Pushing the floats up by hand stops the flow of fuel when the bowls are off
