Fuel Height
Steris:
The vents and over flows are all clear. The advance retard seems ok, with a strobe it sits on the F mark on tick over and starts to advance about 1200-1500 rpm full advance about 3000rpm
Its driving me nuts :)

I know that feeling. At least you are getting lots of practice removing and refitting the carbs. If you manage to fix it, do let us know. :)
K2-K6:
Have you tried spraying the intake rubbers from carb to head with something like wd 40 while running to check for air leaks?

Check that the tips of the mixing screws are fine, they must have a conical tip, you turn until reaching the stop without forcing it, and then in a counterclockwise direction unscrew about 2 turns, the 4 equal, with rolling 100 meters You will notice if it drowns or lack of gasoline, if when placing the carburetors they lose their blows, a float may be hooked and not cut the valve, what jets do you have? You say that the needles are at their maximum height, that will only influence after 1 / 2 throttle up to the wot. mark the stroke of the fist in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 and check how the motorcycle behaves in each position
