Someone else had this problem recently too, this thread should help: http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,11339.0.html

Thought i'd drop this simple little Carb Float explanation here for prosperity, although it's light on actual technical explanation: https://www.fix.com/blog/motorcycle-carburetor-float-height-adjustment/.
I've had another thought regarding my richness. At the moment I have the Fuel tank sat off to one side on top of my garage shelf's, (ie >1m higher than the bike itself), running a temp long fuel hose down to the carbs so I can work on it with the tank off. Would the additional head from this setup cause me issues?
All being well I should get a chance to pull the carbs and reBench Sync / Float Check tonight :P

I like that one Oddjob.
Manic, you should have no effect on jetting as the mixture is influenced by the float height which sets a equal pressure into the jets because it interrupts the fuel coming into the carb. You may struggle to get the floats to shut off the fuel if you had any effect at all.
Sounds like you've got too much air to get the revs down though in order to make any sensible judgment of it.
As already posted, check to see if the slides are going fully down, the only thing lifting any throttle slide when left alone is the tickover / throttle stop screw on any system, the operating mechanism (cables twistgrip etc) should all finish their influence when you let go of it.

Hey, it's cold and lonely out there in the garage. I'll take what I can get.
