Then remove and inspect, check to see if the o-rings are ok and the springs in place along with the tiny washer, most importantly check the condition of the tip, is it intact, do they all look the same, people tend to ground them too hard and the tip breaks off inside the carb, might as well check now whilst it's easy to do. Should be screw, spring, washer, o-ring. Look down the holes to see if any have got stuck down there if they come out with some missing.

Thanks Ken ... just had them off and double checked what you said - I'd previously changed o rings but checked everything again and all looks good

If you go to a big Asda they sell tins of compressed air (if you haven't got a compressor), give all the galleries a good squirting, I turn the can upside down so it comes out as liquid oxygen, you can actually see if come out then, compare each carb with the next so you know where it should be escaping, if it changes you have a blockage.
